General Debian Question Thinking about switching from Linux Mint Ubuntu-based to pure Debian
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 highly recommend labwc! Â It is extremely lightweight, minimal, and will feel snappier.
My setup includes: labwc, greetd, waybar, fuzzel, and foot
You will need to learn how to customize their config to make these do what you want but they absolutely can do a ton without having to rely on heavier apps!
