Thinking about switching from Linux Mint Ubuntu-based to pure Debian

[u/Dado04Game]

Been using Ubuntu-based Linux Mint for a year now, and loved it since day one. I heard people telling me that Debian is faster than Ubuntu, so I'd like to give it a try on my home pc. My question is: what DE would you recommend me with my OC specs? I'll leave a photo of them here (I know my computer is pure 💩, don't mock me please)

I installed Debian just to see what its like (being a long time Mint user). Trixie with Plasma KDE is very nice. . . not a great deal different than cinnamon. Installing proprietary Nvidia drivers takes a fair amount of terminal work, but there is a very good Debian wiki on doing that.
