I am looking for a nice looking desktop environment for Mx Linux laptop which would require far lesser space than Xfce, and which can be easily customised from time to time.

Tiling window manager plus a terminal.

Hmm, say what? No, it looks GREAT.

If you go with Wayland, use Hyprland. It’s pretty easy to find configs for Hyprland on github and/or tutorials on YouTube. I watched a few YouTube tutorials to get an understanding of how it works and then adjusted the base config to my liking.

If you’re using x11, there are more window manager options to choose from. I have no recommendations there, but I know i3, DWM, bwspm, and openbox are all popular and should have tutorials and configs readily available to work from.

I use sway in tabbed monocle mode, i.e. no windows at all, just one thing at a time like on mobile. Never going back to mousey Windowsy 1980s-style computing.

xfce is already pretty lightweight

better off uninstalling unneeded mx apps
