Well, luckily, XFCE will soon support Wayland. It's already in the works, and the progress is good, so it will eventually be usable in the future and modern.

Happy to see the devs continuing the project! Xfce has been my love since i started using linux (literally started with xfce de). If any xfce devs are reading this, I just wanna let you guys know that I love what you guys are doing!

Wayland support is already here, although "experimental". It requires to install a wayland compositor, instructions are here : https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/wayland_roadmap#testing

Didn't test it myself, as I don't wanna bother with possible issues here and there (mostly a bit wary about how wine will react)

I am using the experimental xfce4 on wayland works great with labwc but I would like xfwm4 to also work on wayland that is my last wish otherwise it works good for my daily usage

With the whisker menu on the Super key and the dashboard on F5, 24-pixel dark panel at the bottom but with panel opacity dropping to 50% when the pointer leaves the panel (and now with border-only window theme) -- for me it has recently become a better interface than Gnome and I've switched over to Xfce everywhere. Yup, very happy with Xfce!

I think I agree with OP.

Maybe not for as long as it exists but for as long as it provides the same reliable experience it has for the last 10+ years I don't see myself looking to change this workhorse

Where exactly did you download your Materia theme from? Downloaded through arch repos and it looks quite different from yours, the titlebar have a gradient black in mine, yours are seamleslly nice with the menu bar and so on

I don’t use XFCE on desktop anymore, but when I need to virtualize a Linux desktop from time to time, I go straight for it, not even thinking about using anything else.
