   I have installed & messed around with a fair number of Xfce   
   distros over the years (I only use Xfce), most of them I   
   abandoned rather quickly as I found issues like you   
   mentioned above.   
   Manjaro & MX were at least decent, but not as "refined"   
   as Mint. As far as a light weight distro is concerned.   
   I found Peppermint OS to be pretty good.   
   That said, it would take something quite exceptional to make me migrate   
   from Mint Xfce... but with +600 distros around, who knows what   
   the next new distro will be like!
