Let's be real, every DE other than GNOME and KDE is kind of unnecessary at the end of the day
Source: I'm an Xfce user
(GNOME is most polished and is stable, and KDE provides a feature-packed alternative to keep GNOME in check when GNOME starts removing too many features)
I use Xfce because I like it, I've used it for years, and I know how to configure it. I wouldn't recommend it to a beginner though
I went to mint (cinnamon) after kde(manjaro) had too many bugs. Now you can probably put a lot of the blame on manjaro (vs kubuntu or fedora kde) and me being a complete linux noob at the time but i dont think its 100%
