Cinnamon or Xfce?

I'm extremely new to linux and I installed linux mint on an USB drive 2 days ago as an experiment and to possibly use it as my personal space instead of the family computer.

I installed Xfce because I heard that it's lighter and faster but now I can't help but wonder what's the difference with cinnamon and if I'm missing out on something.

Should I switch or am I not missing on anything important?

The USB is a Sandisk Ultra Flair 32GB
