Yes, I know that the ranking is not a good metric of real world use.

Very old packages.

KDE has been hogging no resources for ages now, it’s really snappy even on not so powerful machines!
How many fucking years will we be out of KDE 4 before these yahoos figure that out?
Yes, unless you install some buggy stuff on top it’s as snappy as xfce - tested on literally j4125 (it’s GPU helps), with wobbly burning windows and everything no holdups, smol RAM usage too (especially stock).

That’s what LMDE is for :)
That’s still not Debian ;)

Really not that bad nowadays.
