Hello,
I was thinking about installing Debian or a debian-based distro on an old HP Pavilion dv6000 which only supports 32-bit.
I used a VM to simulate the specs of the laptop to get an estimate of how it would run, and I can't choose between KDE or LMDE 6's Cinnamon. They both have similar CPU and RAM usage. I just wanted to get the community's opinion on both, and which one they think is better/more stable. Which desktop environment do you guys think is better?

Intel Pentium T2060 (2 cores, 1.60GHz), 1GB RAM (which I will be upgrading to 2GB), 120GB HDD (which I will be upgrading to a 256GB SSD). The default OS, Windows 7, ran decently fast with aero off.
