Cinnamon uses slightly more resources than the other two. But, it's lightweight enough I doubt you are going to have an issue, even with a computer of that era.

    Yes, but a user would need to be experienced enough to know how to uninstall the previous desktop environment components they don't want, otherwise their application menu would have both DE's applications (2 file managers, photo viewer's, text editors, terminals, etc), which can feel a little cluttered.

    Thanks for the feedback! Its a surprisingly big hurdle, especially for someone indecisive that's not going to try all three.

    With Rufus running on a usb stick, trying out all 3 is a 30 minute affair. Download included if your internet speed is high enough.
