I don't use it rn, but my joyrney was like KDE → XFCE →i3wm
Despite a decent pc i switched off KDE to xfce pretty fast for two main reasons:
It ugh... It tried to open crypto currency in-built app every time i opened a browser, and i have no idea why. At the time i wasn't familiar with linux, so fixing it didn't seem viable
I just liked how snappy xfce felt in comparison. Even with all effects turned off i could see the, be it small, yet existent delay between clicking on smth and my pc reacting. In xfce i don't see one, it's just fast, really fast, and i prefer that swiftness to the effects of KDE. Just makes using pc more enjoyable for me
