I have a question for all you Linux pros:

My son's PC runs on Linux Mint. We wants to switch to the Pantheon desktop so we installed it (I think). I can't work out how to actually switch to it, though.

We don't have an option when we log out.

On a related note, we switched to Linux from Ubuntu because his old machine couldn't handle Ubuntu's resource requirements. I'm curious whether vanilla Debian would perform better?

(No, I probably won't switch to Arch, that's a little too much for my limited Linux capabilities).

    @Torbuntu I see options on login but not Pantheon (this is in Mint).

    @Torbuntu I referenced some 2014 thread on Quora which probably wasn't authoritative in retrospect. I couldn't seem to find decent instructions by searching.

    @hash-table it loads into a GUI and gave me a couple choices of DE, just not the one I was looking for.

    @hash-table the current version of Linux Mint. I think it's 18.2.

    @Torbuntu I think I followed those instructions although elementary-essentials didn't install. The repo didn't seem to contain it.

    Yeah, Ubuntu isn't heavy on system resources. Unity is. And Unity is just a cog. It can be easily swapped out.

    KDE, Gnome, and Cinnamon are also very heavy. Beautiful, but heavy.
