Fluxbox

Fluxbox is a window manager for X that was based on the Blackbox 0.61.1 code.

I have been using fluxbox[1] for many years now, happily. It's a very barebones thing (in a good way) while also being highly configurable — customizable keyboard shortcuts, menus, scriptability, etc. It is <i>not</i> a tiling WM. It also doesn't have desktop icons by default. I thought I would miss those, but have found I do not. There are options[2] to add that if you want it. So, my setup is ~8 virtual desktops, with very minimal window decoration and task bar. Applications are easily launched via either custom shortcuts or the "right click" menu (though I use the keyboard to trigger it). I also have a few keyboard shortcuts to position windows manually (eg: WinKey+NumPad key squashes the current window into one cell of an imaginary 3x3 grid on the screen) Standard X11 window management (eg: alt+drag to move a window) work as expected, etc. [1] http://fluxbox.org/ [2] https://wiki.debian.org/FluxboxIcon.

Xfce

Xfce is a lightweight desktop environment for UNIX-like operating systems. It aims to be fast and low on system resources, while still being visually appealing and user friendly.

Luckily you can get an efficient, clean Desktop Environment that works well and is actively developed: Xfce ( https://xfce.org/ ) I think you will like it. It has a very early-2000's feel IMO.
