I understand what you are looking for. I honestly never cared much about how light it was or no because Linux is already so light compared to Microsoft. It was never a big priority. But I am running Mint “Cinnamon” and it is pretty quick and lighter than the Debian and Fedora. Cinnamon is actually the Gnome Desktop.

I think according to this the XFCE version is the lightest version of Linux Mint. I mentioned earlier that I got worse battery life than WIN10 with the XFCE version, so theoretically MATE would have a little worse battery life than XFCE, and Cinnamon would have worse battery life than MATE unless I am overlooking something.

It was never a big priority. But I am running Mint “Cinnamon” and it is pretty quick and lighter than the Debian and Fedora. Cinnamon is actually the Gnome Desktop.

Battery life IS a big priority to me though, so with that said, which version should I be running? Thank you for your attention to this matter.
