There are many desktop environments now. With Xfce, LXDE, Cinnamon, Mate, Gnome, and Budgie, there are just so many options. However, there is a new major player in the desktop environment world. Lumina. It is a fast, minimal, and very customizable desktop environment. While it is not in many of the official repos, I still think that it is a great choice of desktop for any user.
I have no issues in the same Debian version but If I change for any reason the version and libs change with it, the upgrade would leave the desktop broken or possibly broken, making me having to recompile again.
This will also need to be done to any upgrade (even security fix) that is done to the project.
The other issue is that Lumina team lists in their website that Debian has packages when it doesn’t.
Edited: Okay, Lumina releases seem to be quiet, that is something good.
I’m using Debian too. Building it from source is very easy and painless, but Trinity is a good option too.
The problem is upgrading.

Where are the deb packages ? I only see the MX Linux Testing (MX Linux is Debian based) has it. And Nix and Void as well. https://repology.org/project/lumina/versions
Re-read my parragraph hahahahaha.
I didn’t see anything packaged for Debian, that was my complaint.
Their git repository Readme is more precise with it.
