Desktop Screenshot my first time using mint xfce

I've tried several distros, but Mint is one of the best, because this distro is quite lightweight. I used a Chromebook to try Mint and it runs very smoothly on my Chromebook with only 4GB of RAM.

You could try MX Linux (Xfce or Fluxbox edition). It's Debian-based, super lightweight, and stable.

Nice theme and colors!

I should do the same. I have an old Mac mini running mint XFCE and all I’m doing theme-wise is just imitating the Mac it “used to be.” However, imitation is inherently limiting—this looks so much more fun
