My everyday driver is LM Cinn. I regularly boot a LOT of different 
distro/s live, and I'm a big fan of KDE, but I also like just using a 
WM, and I like XFCE as well. I generally don't like Gnome as a DE, but I 
appreciate the dev that comes out of that 'umbrella'.

I recently read an article in DW about adding the KDE desktop to LM, and 
I hadn't tried to mix desktop toolkits in years because the last time I 
did that, the menu was a big mess. This time it worked out fine just 
adding the KDE desktop instead of 'full'.

I like for the dev of a KDE distro to try to keep the KDE 'light' in 
terms of resource usage live to the desktop; Neon does that pretty well; 
most do not.

In terms of resources used to the live desktop, I recently observed that 
Q4OS TDE uses 10% LESS resources than Sparky's OB WM over Deb. I'm very 
impressed w/ how Timothy Pearson and crew have managed to maintain their 
forks of the Qt toolkit as well as the '3.5' KDE alive and well.
