But software from the other side of the Atlantic ocean makes Debian bad. Use Debian testing Xfce and install wicd and qasmixer and remove networkmanager, pulseaudio, avahi and modemmanager.

Would you like to define "other side of the Atlantic", perhaps?
That's ... you know ... sorta dependent on somebody's own location.

Debian stable is not stable, you can break with testing and unstable packages. Over 400 bugs and more will come and years old software. https://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/

That is not what stable means in terms of distributions. It just means that the API:s, ABI:s and software behaviour are the same regardless of updates.

You are wasting your time. Debianxfce is is back on the job as Phoronix's worst resident troll.
