Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 9.0 + xfce = Trixquel...? Trixel...?

Triskel is (as far as I know) simply an option when using the net install  
which installs all KDE packages - this can also be achieved by installing a  
basic system using the net install and then installing the KDE packages once  
you are done. It is not an official Trisquel version unlike LXDE or MATE.

You can simply install a basic system and then the Xfce packages to achieve  
what you desire (i.e. a simple version of Trisquel which only contains Xfce  
without unneeded packages).
