For older machines I used to use CrunchBang, now Bunsenlabs. It's debian + Openbox. Quite nice, but not at all like many other interfaces. For regular machines, afraid I'm Mint/MATE because I share with people who used to use Win XP, and Mint/MATE looks a lot similar. So the reasoning is social rather than technical. However, I've been finding that I can persuade them to use Double Commander as their main interface to files and apps they need, and I can add customized icons.
