• don’t know enough about LXLE itself as a distro
• but LXDE should effectively be considered “end of life”, the developer is in the process of porting everything over to Qt and working on releases of LXQt
• with that, for a full DE – Xfce if you like GTK, LXQt if you like Qt
• or a minimal setup with a WM plus utilities (like Openbox or one of the large selection of tiling window managers)
• along those lines though, there are still a LOT of lightweight Linux distros to choose from
  • Crunchbangplusplus or BunsenLabs – successors to Crunchbang Linux – usually just Openbox WM and a few utils rather than a full DE
  • plain old Debian stable – proprietary drivers are now part of the installer, no more hunting for a special ISO – can choose your DE or WM during install
  • Alpine Linux – popular for server and container installs, but has its fans for desktop
  • DistroWatch’s selection for Old Computers – LXLE is still on the list
