I'm looking to revamp an old laptop into my main programming device; what would be the best decisions to make software wise? (Post what you think I should change)

Purposes:
Java, python, and web development

Current setup:

• OS: Archlinux? (Unsure)
• Gui: ?
• Webserver: nginx + php-fpm
• Database engine: RocksDB
• Python IDE: PyCharm
• Web IDE: WebStorm/PHPStorm
• Java IDE: Eclipse
• Other applications:
  • Git - for versioning web/python/java projects

Well if u want simple "windows like" layout, you can use: xfce, mate, cinnamon or kde. (I recommend xfce). Furthermore, you can use Windows manager for very low resource and heavy customization. For windows managers i would recommend you to use: i3 or openbox. They are most popular WMs.
