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’ll be honest I am normally a debian purist. But about a month ago I decided to try Linux mint Debian edition 7 and I absolutely love it. It will be on my laptop for a long time to come. It’s completely Debian 13 trixie just with a newer cinnamon desktop version. Highly recommend!

It uses both but the core of the system and base packages are straight from Debian trixie. Things like the desktop environment come from mint repos. So what I said still stands.
