Then why have I put MX on nine units ??? :-) It's THE best ... and spent almost forever on top of the DistroWatch list. "Middle-weight" distro, you can make it more, or less, as required. Some great included utilities you don't normally see elsewhere too. Sorry laddie ... but I'm gonna have to say MX is "the best". USED to be an Ubuntu guy - until it went all weird and proprietary. Then Deb ... until IT apparently hired some Canonical rejects. Tried various others but was NOT happy. DO have one Manjaro box ... it's "ok" ... but in time I'll move the vital stuff to an MX install. Now, for the record, I don't HATE Mint. It does serve many purposes/interests/environs and I used to use it on many boxes. However MX strikes me as overall "better".

As I am an openSUSE user, I don't understand the idea of having different "distributions" with just a different desktop. openSUSE has a bunch of them, and you can install any or all of them. Each user of the machine can use a different one. Ok, the install DVD usually comes with KDE and Gnome, while XFCE has to be downloaded. We had a brawl years ago so that the installer would not mark any desktop by default, the user had always to choose. That kept both the KDE and Gnome crowds happy. The commercial version, though, I think comes with only Gnome. KDE comes from the community. -- Cheers, Carlos. ES🇪🇸, EU🇪🇺;

XFCE is still pretty "light". It is a little more 'integrated', with a little more 'eye candy', than LXDE however. If you can't find an LXDE install for yer distro then use XFCE as the next-best. Now if you're using something like a PI then LXDE or a close mutation IS what you want just to save memory/CPU/GPU.

This may be subjective and also adversely affected by memory but I think I recall a point nearly two decades ago where XFCE was "light" and changed (was it around the time of GTK+2?) in a way that made it more "bloated" than it was before. These days, all I need is a window manager, so it's perhaps easier to get something "lighter". -- Nuno Silva

XFCE is still "light" compared with most others, just not as light as it used to be.

The KDE folk spent some time (months?) to optimize the memory footprint of KDE, and I think it got lighter than XFCE. So I heard. I can not imagine how displaying a window with round edges and colour gradations and 3D effects can use less memory. -- Cheers, Carlos. ES🇪🇸, EU🇪🇺;
