Last time I checked, KDE memory footprint was quite similar to XFCE (and in any case much smaller than, say, Firefox).I don't use Gnome so cannot comment on that, but I don't imagine GDM itself is that heavy just to display the login screen.

It is all about resources consumed by the GDM. Gnome is a real hog. Also 2D vs 3D. I would think that for a server, 2D is enough.______________________________
Battery life may not be an issue for C7 users like it is for my F24 notebook; I gained considerable battery life switching to XFce from Gnome.
IMNSHO, it is a priorities thing. If all rpms compile equally as well, the ones that use the least memory and cpu over others.
My 1cent worth.

KDE works fine for me on RedSleeve, so it definitely should be possible to get it working on CentOS as well.

Hello all,Hi,
I was wondering if there is a method to provide a "basic" graphical env
on Centos7 arm. This is in line with the recent upstream Fedora
publishing all types with their ver:25. also the fact that Raspbian now
released a stable graphical env that works out of the box with all the
goodies.
My tries no matter what type of graphical env chosen have failed with
dependencies not met. I have already set up the epel for arm. I know
that you have gone a long way preparing the Centos7 minimal for the arm
and it is already awesome, however having a graphical skin particularly
in arm boards sometimes is a must-have requirement.
Thanks in advance
I don't think someone/anyone really spent time investigating the whole
chain for a desktop environment on CentOS 7 armhfp. I've myself never
tried even to just see if that would work. The initial goal was to have
"minimal" working, as most users are probably targeting such system. If
now some people would like to spend time investigating what would be
needed, what's still to be built, etc, that can "become a thing" :-)
following :
yum group install 'Server with GUI' --skip-broken
yum install xorg-x11-drv-fbdev.armv7hl xorg-x11-drv-evdev.armv7hl xterm
After that , as I was able to get a X environment working with
xinit /bin/xterm
So I guess it's now a matter of finding a correct GDM/login manager and
then something light that can be used ...
I vote for Xfce. Though LXDE seems to have a following. You can try them all from the latest rawhide builds over at:
