I have my main PC at home set up to dual-boot between Windows 11 and Linux Mint. For Linux Mint, I'm using its Cinnamon GUI environment, but I'm actually considering switching it to XFCE for the themes support.  I use exclusively Linux Mint for my BBS PC, and although it's technically set up to be a server, I use the XFCE UI on it, as I tend to like to use some UI-based software on it, and I'd heard XFCE is lighter than Cinnamon.  I've had a look around and have been able to find several XFCE themes that I like (mostly, themes based on other operating systems such as BeOS, OS/2, Mac OS X (Aqua) or even classic Mac OS), and it seems harder to find such UI themes for Cinnamon (though at some point I thought I remembered being able to find some for Cinnamon that I liked).
