This used to be a good distro a while back, but it is not any longer. Resource usage has been through the roof, the use is systemd is a further step into proprietary, closed source territory, gnome is resource intensive and user unfriendly and being based on Debian still, it is no longer as straightforward and easy to use and requires a lot of research.
Skolelinux is a great Debian-based distro- easy to use, great community and is stable but I think the developers made a wrong move choosing the desktop environment Xfce over the KDE desktop environment. Xfce has been having “feature creep” and adding more and more code into it without too many fixes for memory issues and instability, whereas when it was based on KDE, it was lighter, didn’t use as much ram and wasn’t as slow as now it being based on Xfce.
I unfortunately cannot recommend this distro and will find another Debian-based one with KDE.
An easy to use, speedy, stable and beautiful distro. I’ve tried the Cinnamon and KDE desktops, and both are them look great, work well and are easy to upgrade. I wish it was based on Devuan instead of Debian because Debian has been falling apart over the years, and the use of systemd is not comfortable for me.

This is a really simple Linuc product.
The best desktop is Cinnamon.
Beautiful and stable for beginners.
