After a year of using (and break the OS with a compilation of python 3 and use of command -
Code: Select all
sudo checkinstall
I know Mate is the same as Gnome 2 with some differences. Cinnamon is a little different. Xfce (if I'm not wrong) is the fastest and more lightweght than other I heve mentioned.
Here are my questions for those who had some experience or gurus on all these and/or other desktop enviroments:
1. For higher speed on some applications like games and video edition software is better x64 bit version of a distro. Is it true?
2. For a desktop PC like mine, will I feel a difference on speed on some application on those DE (KDE, MATE, Cinnamon or Xfce)?
3. There are any cons about using x64 bit Xfce edition of Mint 13?
I know those questions are so strange or even stupid, but an OS for 3 years or more is big period of time! That's why I need a help of a guru in my choice.
I'm very grateful in advance for all answers!
