me too I usually add LxDE (or if avail LxQT), to save some 
ram on such poor machines

since you need to de-ubuntize mint, why not give a try to 
LMDE ? It is Linux Mint purely debianized.

The exact difference I dunno which could be, maybe slower 
updating cycle (Debian is less frantic than Ubuntu), and 
some lagging, but It no longer share ubuntu's repos, and 
less emphasis on SNAP apps.

I tried the 3 release, in a VM, so I don't think I'll 
upgrade it.

it's sleek !
now it seems to also work with WiFi networking, deep 
misteries ... I have done no further maintenance. It simply 
awakened on the right foot :)

I had problems with Dragora updater, but likely due to my 
zero-skill, and at last I resigned.
As long as it had worked, my impressions on Fedora 28-29 had 
been good. Just a bit unfamiliar despite using XFCE.
