Cinnamon usually. LXDE if the machine's a potato.

Is LXDE even more lightweight than XFCE? I got a really potato computer that can only run XFCE, Mate and Cinnamon gets performance issues

LXDE consumes the least amount of RAM of all major desktops in my experience. It beats even XFCE by a fair amount. Idle CPU usage is mostly the same though.
