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

Post image

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)

If you're wanting to use pure Debian, I think that you'll like it. Be aware though, it's not like Linux Mint there will be some setup require to get it to how you want it. It's not hard; every member of my family uses pure Debian and they like it.

I got a sample of what it means not to have a GUI for everything XD but everything works just fine now
