I used zsh, urxvt and konsole. I do prefer zsh. Urxvt is nice too.

I would say aesthetically always preferred gnome but my laptop which is pretty low end ran slow on it. Kde is in that ballpark for my laptop in terms slowdowns but for the most part it floated through. That was when I used like manjaro.
But I moved on to antix for stability. It has icewm that they configured for the distro. I loved it.
Due to some hardware issue I tested out other distros to see if it was hardware issue or not. Currently my laptop has gnome on it I think.
No. I went for antix. Before it ran on manjaro for years. Moved to different distro like last year cause of some hardware issue. Might still go back to it.
I wanted something very light on the laptop. Mx is fine I guess. But I went ahead with antix at the time.
I used antix for my laptop. Its the most lightweight. I also used Debian on it. Mine is also lenovo. If you want real lightweight use antix I guess.
Use fstab maybe
I used antix on my laptop. Very nice actually.
I use Rufus. It just works.
I said I prefer zsh. I used terminals like urxvt when I used window managers. Urxvt + zsh works fine. On kde I didn't mind using zsh + konsole. Hope that clears up.
