Just try a window manager on top of X, quite a different approach, and
one that minimises distractions in my opinion.
I use IceWM because it is easy to configure. A few applications (surf,
xfe, pmount, mpg123, xpdf, OpenOffice installed from tar.gz,
r-base/r-devel, gnuplot, texlive) and I'm working fine and listening
to the music on my phone through a better sound system. Init agnostic
(use of the apt-get option --no-install-recommends ensures that),
fast, impressive. You can learn systemd or stay with sysvinit. I might
even try upstart for lutz.
Jessie is a good place to be.
