Very simple & lightweight desktop Disto running flawless

I like how easy it is to set up, install and use as well. It's also very light weight with minimal resources required for operation. The only thing about this distro is its lack of support for some older hardware, such as my old Acer Aspire One Netbook (AOD250). But it works just fine on all newer models. If you're looking at getting into Linux but don't want something heavy, then give xUbuntu a try! It doesn't take too much time or effort to get started with once you know what your doing. I'm…

Pros
  • Easy Setup
  • Very Fast when loading files/programs from CDRom
  • Has many pre installed software packages available through Ubuntu Software Center.
  • Works really fast even if run off an SSD drive compared other versions
Cons
  • There are nuances

Great Desktop Environment and Workspace Manager

The desktop environment feels really nice to me, it flows well together for my liking (as I said in other reviews).The windows manager provides some great features like tiling or floating panels - which can be used as workspaces with different applications/sessions.It has its own DE called xfce4-panel which makes life easier while setting up new users /etc setups since you don't need all packages from gnome etc installed when using this OS only.I think there's still room for improvement…

Pros
  • Great interface
  • Lightweight
  • Lots & lots customization possibilities(both visually AND technically)
  • Good community involvement through projects such lxde
  • Upgraded versions available almost every 6 months.
  • Many ways around problems that arises during initial installations.
  • Not expensive either
Cons
  • Some cons

Very good looking operating system - great experience

I like how easy it was to set up, very user friendly for new users as well! It's simple enough where you don't need someone else running your computer while using xfce4 desktop manager since there are so many pre-installed applications out their (such music player/video players). Nothing really bad about this OS either except sometimes when my mouse freezes or keyboard stops working which causes me stress because i want nothing more than just click away from here but its not possible without…

Pros
  • Easy installation
  • No bloatware at all even if included by default such Spotify & YouTube video applet; Skype etc.etc.
  • Customizable layout that suit most computers easily especially laptops in terms memory management compared other distros available today e17 is another good one)
  • Friendly design language used
Cons
  • There are disadvantages
