Is LMDE - Linux Mint Debian Edition - less demanding than Linux Mint Xfce?
by grumpyskeptic from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6KQRW)
I have an old laptop, an Acer Aspire 5050 64-bit with 4GB memory (the most it can take). It ran WinXP when new.
Currently it has Linux Mint Xfce 64-bit installed, but it often freezes and has to be restarted, especially when I use Firefox rather than the Falkon browser.
Is LMDE 64-bit less demanding on the hardware than LM Xfce 64-bit? Hence less likely to freeze.
I prefer the ease of use and familiarity of Mint.
Thanks.
