   @tommorris FWIW I've been using Manjaro with Xfce for a few years on an old Dell XPS13 and it's been a pretty nice experience

     I've got a spare box I'm going to start using to play with Linux desktop as a dev machine.

     Wanted:
     - rolling release preferred
     - lightweight desktop environment (back in the day I liked Xfce over GNOME/KDE)
     - happy to take slightly harder path if payoff in stability/sanity is better
     - pretty is nice, stable is nicer

     Leaning towards:
     - Arch, Debian or NixOS (have always used Debian in the past)
     - some kind of wayland based tiling WM (Hyprland?)

     Thoughts welcome (trolling/holy war not so much).
