Hey guys, is installing xfce on PureOS still a doable thing?
I’ve thought of switching over to Xubuntu for my laptop (because GNOME is too much a resource hog for me), but I paid ~$70 (incl. shipping) to get my thinkpad X200t librebooted, and I’d like to stick with a fully libre distro that’s also somewhat user friendly. So I’m staying with PureOS, for now (and hopefully a long while). I just really need to get out from under GNOME.
Anyway, here’s the error I’m getting when I try the above-mentioned commands:
[chewie@falcon ~]$ sudo apt install task-xfce-desktop xfce4-goodies
[sudo] password for chewie:
