I use & voted for #Xfce but some other options could be those DEs purposely designed to "preserve" an older version of a #DesktopEnvironment or GUI toolkit. I suspect they would be extremely unlikely to introduce paradigm-shifting changes

e.g.

MATE (based on Gnome 2)
#MATEDesktop #MATEDesktopEnvironment
@mate

#TrinityDE (based on KDE 3)
#TDE

The MATE Desktop Environment is the continuation of GNOME 2. It provides an intuitive and attractive desktop environment using traditional metaphors for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. MA

Not my favorite #drawing ive ever done but it was fun to try out the #WacomIntuos #DrawingTablet with #Krita on #LinuxMint with a quick sketch. :) I haven't had a tablet in probably 15+ years!! This little guy was only $40 and well, it works! & best of all it works out of the box on Mint, although Mint (at least the #MateDesktopEnvironment) doesnt seem to include an easy tablet configuration menu where you'd expect one with the mouse/keyboard settings. 🤨 Still really psyched tho. 😭
