> Just focus on serious minimalism, accessibility and traditional interface paradigms without trying to be liked by the masses or following any "trend". IMO, XFCE is pretty close to that. But I had to give it up for Cinnamon b/c I had lots of problems with multi-monitor support and different configurations (different monitors at work than at home). It was also buggy and the whole DE would crash sometimes when unplugging monitors. But in terms of a minimal, approachable, and accessible UX, I think they nailed it.
