For years I stuck with MATE, Xfce4, LXQT, etc. to get optimal performance on old hardware but nothing can top a tiling window manager.

With Nixos I switch between Gnome 40 (I do like the Gnome workflow) and i3 w/ some Xfce4 packages, but lately on my older machine the performance of Gnome (especially while running Firefox) is so sluggish in comparison that I may have switched back permanently now.
