MX Linux is my go-to for a modern-feeling system on older hardware (runs great on 15+ years old PCs, I installed it on a ThinkPad T22 a while ago and it ran fine). And XFCE is customizable enough that you can set it up so it feels familiar to either Windows or Mac users.
I use Cinnamon on my daily driver, but XFCE is my fallback for most other things. And I like a lot of the utilities that come with it (Thunar just feels right to me for some reason).

Yeah, I think XFCE is my new favorite desktop environment, regardless of which distribution I use in the future.
