Hello I run qubes in a machine with only 8gb ram and 8gb swap I assume ( i did the standard procedure for installation so I am not sure about swap )
Will running i3 instead of XFCE improve the performance of qubes ? Is there anything I can do to get maximum performance out of my hardware? I just need to get work done nothing very intensive
