minus-squarepeople_are_cute@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 year agoIsn’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.

minus-squareSapphironZA@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoI 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.
minus-squareblandfordforever@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoI’m going to reply with an anecdotal no. On my hardware, cinnamon “feels” faster than plasma.
minus-squareSapphironZA@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoI 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.
