What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.

What makes outside showers appealing? Why are they not commonly seen?

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:

Why is my crush beautiful to me but not to others?

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.
