WM recommendation (I know Python but not enough to take much priority)

ExplodeyWolf@lemmy.world to Linux@lemmy.ml – 25 points –

I want the easiest to configure/theme wm and one that comes with sane defaults. Also I currently use cinnamon, and I'm not sure how to escape from that(everything in it is just so nice) but I want the speed of a wm

If you want sane defaults, try lxqt. It is still a huge improvement in performance after cinnamon, but you don't have to manually configure everything like in WMs.

How different is that from lxde?

Same design, different technologies. LXDE was dropped in favor of lxqt. In terms of performance both are almost the same, but in the future, when all of old code will be dropped from lxqt, it would be lighter. Also lxqt looks more modern compared to lxde.
