If you want lighter weight Ubuntu GUI, check out Xubuntu or Lubuntu (or just select Xfce or LXDE as your desktop at install time).

There is e.g. Elementary OS (also an Ubuntu derivative) with another lightweight GUI.

I personally run Void Linux (which lives happily without both systemd and sysvinit) with Xfce.

I haven't tried it, but many are saying the Deepin desktop is better than all of the above.

Deepin is developed by China-based "Wuhan Deepin Technology", and is pre-shipped by Huawei on their Linux laptops. That's all I need to know to not use it.
