    Isn’t vanilla KDE Plasma faster and less resource-intensive than Cinnamon?

    The Mint devs present the XFCE option as a “more lightweight” alternative to the Cinnamon option, and Plasma has been more efficient than XFCE for over three years now.

        I think power draw is a better measurement for efficiency.

        Making it more practical. Most people have more RAM than they need, but everyone is limited by battery capacity on laptops.

      I suspect that packaging has a lot to do with it. I also value power draw as a better metric for determining efficiency compared to RAM usage.
