Can you use xfce as the window manager easily? Basically all I want is an LTE release of something with xfce or some other “plain” window manager.



Yes! It's what I use! :-)

Just apt install xfce4

Most of the package names are the same between Ubuntu/Debian. Honestly, using testing just feels like using a "level headed boring adult" spin of Ubuntu. Instructions for installing or compiling XYZ for Ubuntu will typically work without modification on testing.


The default Debian installer asks what desktop environment you want to use. XFCE is one of the options available.
