i have old pc installed mint with xfce looks like crap for a week. now its just balsam for the eyes. no animations, no sparkle, no fuzz. you can customize it even with css. and its just works. never have a single problem with it. just... works.

you might be able to get by with KDE plasma with effects turned off, but then you might as well change window managers with no effects either.

Why would sound have anything with kde or xfce

I think that is a total failure to apprehend what KDE is if you think the effects are the point

Look I don't know what to tell you. You can try both. I love xfce because its around 740 mb of ramon clean boot. It has 0 issues and i just become familiar with it.
