Possibly this, but also lxde if you want a bit more graphical interface. If you have a really old computer try running puppy linux.
tinywm is the slightly more lightweight than dwm iirc
>>52173444
twm
literally everybody else in this thread is wrong
the guy who said lxde needs to get the fuck out
By memory usage.

twm a shit
>>52174412
didn't think sawfish was that lightweight

>DE
only use a DE on laptops, because you don't always have internet on a laptop
just use x11+wm and then install what you need as you need it

you are one dumb motherfucker

No, you're wrong yourself. In regards to memory usage, DWM has a smaller footprint than TWM. Not only that, but TWM uses Xlib. Any WM using XCB will have a smaller CPU usage.
If you're looking for small memory usage, DWM is one of the smallest out there. For CPU usage, i3 is one of the best.
CDE
