Linux Mint Forums

So I am using Main Edition and Gnome seems to not like me because it always seems laggy instead of snappy. I've been waiting for the XFCE Daryna to come out but since it is delayed any way I could install the Beta and be safe upgrading to the final once it comes out? Would it be safe to do?

There are some issues with this beta that the developer still has not solved. There is a totally unexpected memory leak in Firefox and few other things
Maybe, but just maybe, this makes upgrading hard

Ok thanks for the advice.

After some problems on my laptop (if you're interested: http://linuxmint.com/forum/viewtopic.ph ... 66&p=55563) I decided to install XFCE. I did it through Synaptic. Sessions work fine etc but Firefox just doesn't. The system goes completely nuts! So I installed Opera and everything works great (except for thunar hanging when I try to open ntfs partitions and use the drop down menu). So maybe it's not a bug in mint XFCE edition but either in FF or in xfce itself (since i have daryna gnome just with additional xfce packages)?

Thanks rootkowski
This is a valuable input. We for sure saw FF eating resources and that this is the case in your config limits the scope somewhat
