In my eyes, Cinnamon looks like a good alternative. Gives you GNOME3 +
(in my view) a more sane DE suitable for a laptop. But I don't know how
lightweight it is. That would also be a criteria for me, though.
However, what looks more eye-candyish, often seems to get more attention
by creative users. And music is about creativity, isn't it? :)
