MATE with Openbox is a lighter possibility too.. i've been changing DEs, DMs regurarly, but always find myself going back to MATE. (lately i've tried enlightement... works well - a bit buggy) most DEs are either buggy or feautureless. (will NOT try GNOME/KDE, i kinda of think of those as systemd-like DEs, bloated to the bone.). other than that, i'd say MATE covers most needed desktop features, and XFCE comes shortly after.. LXDE is not abandoned, but it's missing stuff that you have to get from other DEs (=download extra libs, packages..), same as LXQT which is very interesting.. Trinity was very buggy last 2 times i tried it, completely unusable for me.. (even though my first ever DE was kde3 and i wanted it to work for old times sake... :D ) back to MATE, it now (versions > 1.24) offers official no-systemd support for mate-session, so it's certainly a positive attitude, other modern DEs lack.. just 2c, d.
