If it was for me I could use something like that. But I don't think the person I'll give the pc to would be able to lol

I have tested KDE plasma in my main pc for a few weeks now and the ram consumption seems pretty high and have too many options. I'm looking for something light and easy to use (not many options) since the pc is going to be used by someone not very tech savvy.

Same. Mostly because I used to run XFCE some years ago, but I might give LXQT a try. Thanks

Well when I used tu it like 12 years ago it was very light. I'll have to check now. Thanks for the answer

[-] Crying4625@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah I'll check LXQT. It's been a long time since I thinkered with distros an DEs. Thanks

[-] Crying4625@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

Oh, that's pretty neat info. I'm more of an Arch user but I might give Linux mint a try now that I know that. Thanks

I think gnome and KDE Plasma are just too heavy. And I would use a WM if it was for me, in fact that what I use in my daily driver but it is for someone not that tech savvy. I may check one from the alternative crowd tho. Thanks for the answer

I was debating myself between those 2. I like xfce, and they announced recently that they have plans to move to Wayland but maybe I'll give LXQT a try to see what it is like. Thanks for the answer

I want to revive an old Lenovo laptop with an AMD A6 2.6GHz and 4GB ram, what would be the best option for a DE?
