I have never had to compile anything on my Xubuntu, and do almost everything using a GUI interface. The only stuff I ever do in a terminal is usually security related, like checking if microcode is being updated, or what vulnerabilities have been addressed, but for every day use, I never get into a terminal even though I am quite comfortable using one stemming back to my days as an expert in a command prompt world with Amiga and DOS based machines.

One of the lightest desktops is xfce, and it works great on older hardware which is why I initially chose it for a MythTV server in a back room. Later when I started trying different flavors of Linux on my DAW, I found that the lightweight xfce desktop in Xubuntu was my favorite there as well, after trying Manjaro, Mint, MX Linux, Ubuntu, AV Linux, and some others.
