I want to install Mint in my laptop, but I'm undecided about which desktop environment I should use with it. Currently the available desktop environments the distribution offers are Cinnamon, MATE, KDE and Xfce. From these I only know Xfce because it is the one I use with Fedora, but I don't want to use it anymore because it's too buggy.
So my question is: from the remaining desktop enviroments, Cinnamon, MATE and KDE, which one consumes fewer resources?
In case you need to know, my laptop has 2.9 GB
of memory.
Update: I don't understand why my question has been put on hold for being "primarily opinion-based". I am not asking what desktop environment looks nicer or cuter, I am asking what desktop environment consumes fewer resources, something that can be perfectly quantified.
