It's funny, I haven't used Linux in some time, but my choices were very similar to yours. At least back in the late 90s and early 00s, IceWM seemed to be the Window Manager that was designed to look like a sexier Windows 95. 15-20 years later, that seems like a weird thing to hang your hat on, but it looks like that is pretty close to where it is.
I also tried Blackbox, used Gnome's desktop for a while, but it was too heavy and settled on XFCE. Were I to go back to Linux, I would probably end up on XFCE again (or maybe Elementary).
- thom 6y agoI put Elementary on my daughter’s inherited 2011 MacBook Air and runs very nicely (far better than whatever macOS it had on in the end). Had to replace Epiphany as the default browser because lots of things didn’t work but it seems a reasonable environment. Lags a bit behind Ubuntu though.
