Looking for a minimal distro for a virtual machine
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Alpine maybe ?
I was gonna say that but does alpine have KDE or XFCE (he said Windows style interface)? I’ve only used it as a container.
They have a wiki page for installing KDE so I'm sure it supports XFCE also. You'll want to download their virtual optimized version instead of mini root (which is what you normally use in a container).
Runs KDE and xfce fine.
