Which is better KDE or XFCE?

As for XFCE, I found it too unpolished and more simple than it should. KDE is by far better than anything else (including any OS) in my opinion. ... All three are quite customizable but gnome is quite heavy on the system while xfce is the lightest out of the three.

Which is lighter Xfce or mate?

XFCE is mildly lighter. Either way, they are both about the same, since MATE is new (though based on GNOME 2) and somewhat lacking in devs, while XFCE is old, but really lacking in devs.

Why is Xfce so popular?

Simplicity

Xfce. Xfce is one of the most lightweight desktop environments out there. Unlike LXQt, you will find a lot of major Linux distributions support XFCE editions. Xfce is light on resources but proves to provide a feature-rich user experience.

Is Lxde faster than XFCE?

As far as I remember (it's been a while since I used LXDE), LXDE uses less resources than XFCE, so if your system is lacking of processing power and/or memory, LXDE is better. But XFCE seems to have a larger set of default applications, and it looks better. So of course XFCE is better.
