On this desktop I’m using Linux Mint LMDE 5 (elsie) and it’s very nice based on Debian
I’m a Mint person and just played with LMDE 5 test/install USB and didn’t like it. It was eating resources like crazy just sitting there idling tasked with absolutely nothing. Something is running all the time using all the RAM and almost the full capacity of my processor. Just the OS... No browser no applications running. Something definitely wrong with that picture...
