I like Xfce as a DE, as it is simple and configures easily.

Unfortunately, the latest NVIDIA drivers have a problem with
Xfce compositing, so I can't use them.  Thus, I'm stuck here
on Linux 6.18.10 because I need fixed drivers to make the leap
to 6.19.

Stop the presses!  I just came across a workaround that doesn't
say "turn off the compositor":

Haven't tried that yet, but it looks promising...

$ xfwm4 --vblank=off --replace
