If you like XFCE, I'll assume you like as vanilla an experience as possible. Fedora does a good job with it. I wound up removing dnfdragora from my autostart setup, but that's because I don't trust graphical frontends, considering the lack of useful input that tends to happen with packagekit and flatpak (the latter I just use on command line, more reliable).

It uses 4.13, which is the dev branch, but it's all solid software. The only issues I've had is my nVidia 1060 desktop needs me to switch to a TTY and back to actually see more than the wallpaper, but that takes half a second, and I'm more than willing to blame on nVidia than XFCE or Fedora, and the icons on the bottom panel (where all the launchers are) were too big. Readjusting the icon size in xfce4-panel-settings re-registered their sizes. I haven't had any issues since, and it works perfectly on my intel graphics hardware (my two laptops).

It's so good (I guess so minimal in distro-specific changes) that it made me a hard convert from Arch. I did a netinstall to see what it was like on my testing laptop, and it was so good I put it on my other two laptops immediately after.
