    I don’t need fancy stuff, I just want good movies to see. I’d also love to see more shows get theatrical releases, at least for season finales. “Survival Sunday” for The Walking Dead was great: season 8’s epic finale and the intro to a new era of Fear, all before it officially aired, and participants got a limited edition poster.

    The Chosen has also been airing entire seasons in theaters, split into three parts, before it heads to Prime Video and then their free app. They also have a Christmas special with a special episode and musical performances of Christmas songs.

    That sort of stuff is what I enjoy but I’m not going to the theater to see mediocre movies (which is basically all Hollywood is making these days).

    Mint would probably be the safest bet. You could also take a look at Manjaro XFCE, though Manjaro is a bit more advanced than what it sounds like you’re looking for. There’s also Zorin OS with their “lite” version which runs a modified XFCE that would probably work for your needs.

    However, if you go for Mint, I’d definitely go for XFCE. I’ve never used labwc myself and I’m more of a Plasma guy, but XFCE is, in my own experience, a very good DE for a low-spec system. With the increasing spread of Wayland, I wouldn’t be shocked to see Wayland support on XFCE in the future. Cinnamon actually has an experimental Wayland version and it’s not as resource-heavy as some might think I have a 2012 laptop running Mint Cinnamon and it runs surprisingly well on that system. Then again, if you’re just going for a minimalist installation, it’s not necessary.
