Get Hyperbola GNU/Linux with Lumina Desktop, install lumina and lumina-extra
among the xenocara packages. It's much lighter, altough you will only
get libre kernels and packages. But with tkpacman and lxappearance among
qt5ct and qt-styleplugins you'll be able to set your desktop to something
really decent.
