I'm currently using LXDE, both on my Lubuntu 20.04 production system,
and on my i386 (32-bit) Debian 'Buster' test systems, and it works fine
for me. Things in the menu are sometimes in different places, but you
get used to it.
I prefer LXDE because of its more varied customization options, and for
being more similar to what I'm used to using.
