Look into MxLinux. It is Debian based with lots of noce tools. And as DE you could use KDE.

That is true. And so I am trying to not mess with it, which is a first for me actually😅

Xfce lover here. I tried Cinnamon for a bit and it is impressive, but I then moved to KDE on wayland. It’s better than I thought. I decided to leave it almost not customized, just the panel on top and a couple of widgets. The thing with KDE, for me, is that you can’t not love the developers for all the things they try to do and all the improvements they always bring. It’s an impressive work. So, xfce on xorg and kde on wayland is my way to go. I’m not a fan of Gnome. It looks good at first, but after a bit I realize that simply it’s not for me, not even the way it looks.

Ok. Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll look into it

I am using Joplin with syncthing. I don’t need online services for syncthing. My smartphone is the center of this synchronization of notes with three different pc in three different places (I do it with keepssxc database too). I just have to be a bit careful and so I check that the synchronization has been done before writing notes an another device. It’s a nice solution for me. The devices are an android smartphone, two linux laptops and a Windows pc. It works.

I have tried a bunch of them: Manjaro, Fedora, Opensuse Tumbleweed, Mx Linux, EndeavourOS, Arcolinux, Debian, currently LMDE. But Fedora, the spin with XFCE not the default one, never convinced me enough to keep it., is the one that never convinced me enough to keep it.
