My understanding is that the latest version of KDE Plasma has gotten
pretty close to xfce in terms of minimal processing requirements.<br>

<div>KDE Plasma on Debian 10.1 "Buster" running in 12 gb on a
slightly vintage Core-I7 MB. No troubles. Upgraded video card
from Nvidia to AMD back in August with minimal hassles. I do a
lot of stuff at the terminal though. In more
resource-constrained environments, I have had good experiences
with XFCE.</div>

running on an Nfina tower server that I occasionally log
into directly. The server sounds like a helicopter with
all its fans, so I keep thinking about creating a space
for it in a different house. Haven't quite developed the
cashflow to rent a whole new house for one lonely test
server. In the last 15 years, I wrote 3 books including a
bunch of VM-testing on XFCE Desktop, which is a very light
resource-load. </div>

<div>I have been using Linux Mint with Cinnamon
Desktop for the past few years as my daily
driver. I am able to get most of the things. But
there are a few times the Cinnamon Desktop just
freezes and crashes while I am in the middle of
some work. This kind of throws me off. I have
tried most of the tricks on the LM forums and
nothing leads me to a proper solution.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Now that, I am thinking of switching to some
simple and clean desktop that does not crash on
me. I had to use Mac for my work, so I will be
switching between my Mac and Linux on a daily
basis. I had customized my Cinnamon to look and
behave like Mac and was successful to an extent
that I could manage.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is there a recommendation for a
distro/desktop that would help me? </div>
