Most of the other audio distros use a 'lighter' desktop than either GNOME or KDE - I think XFCE is in most of them, but there may be one with LXDE. IIRC F21 will have the merged LXDE / Razor-Qt desktop as an option, and that's the way I'd go. IMHO the 'desktop' is irrelevant - even OpenBox + FBPanel will start applications, and the browser is the desktop for many people these days. It only takes me a week or so to customize any Linux desktop to my workflow, so we might as well pick something that looks good and doesn't use much RAM. KDE and GNOME are fine for a 'Windows/Mac' replacement, as are Cinnamon, MATE and Unity. But for audio, I'd go with something less RAM-grabbing.
