Since, some mentioned KDE, I would like to recount my latest
experience with it. I was having difficulty with XFCE as its touch pad
configuration is very poor. Moving the mouse pointer around was like
dragging 100Kg across rough ground! The displacement of the mouse
pointer across the screen was less than the actual displacement of my
finger on the touch pad!

Currently, I am running KDE without having issues of bloat, and my
system, is definitely not state of the art.

With Waterfox, medit and simple-netaid (Lazarus version) running this
is my memory use:
                     total        used        free      shared
buff/cache   available
Mem:           3835         820        1966         113        1048        2658
Swap:             0           0           0


Needless to state, I did not install the complete KDE desktop. KDE is
not burdening my poor integrated GPU as it defaulted to a very basic
rendering mode. I do not know whether this is a direct consequence of
KDE itself, or the fact, the kernel is having problems with the i915
graphics driver. In fact, the kernel is reporting a buffer underrun at
startup. This is a bug that existed several years ago, but recently,
and because I use Devuan, it has shown it ugly head again.
