XFCE is the answer. It's like a Windows 98 interface but it actually works. Gets out of the way. Doesn't ask for much resources. Been on XFCE for well over a decade. I switched to it when Ubuntu tried to do that Unity thing. Never looked back. Friends and family, even newbies, are on XFCE. No problems. Stable.
I switched to KDE recently (very nice but tries to do too much) and also updated gossip to a newer egui. I thought the newer egui had a window positioning bug. After about 2 hours of testing and research I have discovered that KDE/Wayland doesn't allow windows to position themselves yet. 🤦
