Tried Plasma, but deleted and switched back to XFCE as it eats too much of the CPU on my machine. I’m not sure if it’s only for me or not, I got plasmashell spikes for 8-10% cpu each several seconds and 3-4% cpu spikes of kwin_x11 alone.
I’m aware wayland isn’t supported yet.
Please recommend something that is tested with 4,2,3

I believe that i3 is the best choice right now: simple and nice, works on X, there are guides and community of qubes users. It has a future in wayland too, albeit indirectly via sway.
But actual best choice is XFCE, of course. There is nothing better than its combination of light weight, user-friendliness, and lack of meaningless visual appeal. The fact that it is supported by pretty much everything makes it practical to get accustomed to it too.
