From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Debian with XFCE or LXDE.
Isn't LXDE basically discontinued? It got combined with RazorQT or something back in the day and became the LXQT we know today if I'm remembering right.
Seems like you're right, I just remembered trying it a while ago and thinking it was quite decent.
Yeah it was a good middle of the road option. There's much lighter, but it gets a lot more involved at that point.
