After successfully upgrading to Beowulf, and after carefully evaluating all the
opinions and considerations received (thanks to everyone), I did some
experiments... and finally migrated from MATE to LXDE.

I am really very happy with the result. I have all the applications and
features I need; there are far fewer dependencies; the use of system memory is
less; the system is stable and much more responsive; the performance with
qemu-kvm virtualization is excellent...

System configuration and customization turned out to be less difficult and
demanding than I thought.

In short, a great general improvement.

I still have some doubts if LXQt could be a better choice.

Thanks again for your support
Regards
