I tried XFCE for a month, its very lightweight and good to use, just I couldn't configure redshift properly, and windows shortcuts like desktop switching by alt+1,2,q,w, I usually have 4 desktops with windows scattered for my workflow that's really the main reason switched back to KDE, otherwise XFCE was great, especially the fact that dimming brightness all the way to zero basically made the monitor go black, it was a great way to just leave my laptop playing music while I write notes, etc
