After presenting our readers with in-depth screenshot tours for Fedora 22 Beta Workstation (GNOME edition) and Fedora 22 Beta KDE Plasma 5, we are continuing our Fedora 22 Beta screenshot tour series with the Xfce spin, which is built around the Xfce 4.12 desktop environment.

Fedora 22 Beta Xfce is a unique flavor of the Fedora 22 Linux operating system, designed to be used on low-end machines or computers with old and semi-old hardware components, as it provides users with one of the most lightweight and customizable desktop environments ever created, Xfce.

The Beta release of the Fedora 22 Xfce spin updates the desktop environment to Xfce 4.12, the latest version of the acclaimed desktop, which includes a broad range of attractive new features, such as HiDPI (High Dots Per Inch) support, window tiling enhancements, better multi-monitor support, and support for GTK+ 3 plugins.

"The Xfce spin has been updated to Xfce 4.12," says the Fedora Project developer. "This release has an enormous number of improvements, including HiDPI support, improvements to window tiling, support for Gtk3 plugins, and many improvements for multi-monitor support."

Now powered by Linux kernel 4.0

The Xfce edition is powered by the recently released Linux kernel 4.0, just like all the other Fedora 22 Beta spins. However, the Fedora Project developers decided to disable the new live patching functionality for the time being.

Make sure you check out the screenshot tour below to see what the Xfce edition of Fedora 22 will look like when it is released at the end of May 2015. In the meantime, do not hesitate to download Fedora 22 Beta Xfce Live DVD images from Softpedia and give them a spin. Please note that this is a pre-release version that is not recommended for deployment in production environments.
