On a debian 11 ppc64 system running on an Apple Dual G5 PPC 970 with 3.5G of Ram, xfce turns out to the most responsive environment of the ones that will work there. So that is what I use on that system.

On the other hand, on an Apple Intel Macbook circa 2006 with a Core2 processor and 4G of ram, Mate is very nice, and I prefer that there.

Once the applications are running it matters little however, of course.

I’m happy there are choices.
