Linux Desktop Selection

Linux Desktop selection:

First batch: Heavy-weight Desktop---Features complex, the interface is fancy, resource-intensive, may be unstable
GNOME3/2, KDE, Unity

Second batch: Lightweight Desktop---Flagship simplicity, save resources, fast and stable performance
LXDE, XFCE, Cinnamon, Mate, Standard,...

LXDE is a lightweight desktop with the best performance, the most streamlined, the most memory-saving, the package is not interdependent, and therefore more stable.
This desktop is a high demand for performance stability of the first choice, the interface is too primitive, not suitable for the gorgeous coquettish interface needs strong people use.

Xfce's performance is second only to LXDE, but its interface is even more flashy, a tradeoff between a gorgeous interface and high efficiency, and Linus is also using Xfce (as if he thought gnome was too chaotic to stand it!!!). ）

Cinnamon was originally built for Linux Mint, but now has a good performance on a variety of Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, Fedora, and Debian.

Cinnamon is a branch of GNOME 3.

MATE from Gnome 2 's set of fork, and cinnamon is the same type of KDE style, more gorgeous, to Windows window interface to snap!

Pantheon is the elementary OS desktop environment, and the elementary OS Linux-based operating system is inspired primarily by the design philosophy of Mac OS X.

Pantheon's development team was born in the graphic design industry, so they pay close attention to details, making pantheon the most perfect and beautiful Linux desktop on the market. This team is also very strict when choosing the default application for the desktop. They either develop their own applications or follow the same design philosophy.

Pantheon works for many Linux distributions, but for the best experience, you have to try it on the elementary OS.
