Great operating sysstem with excellent community

I love how easy it was install this Desktop Environment, you don't need any special software or anything else just go straight into using your system! The only thing i dislike about xubuntu is when loading up programs in terminal it doesn't have an autocomplete feature which can be very annoying at times if u forget what command goes after another one (like sudo apt get update). This OS works great without much hassle because all packages are already installed by default so there isn'y really…

Pros
  • Everything required to use Ubuntu
  • Easy installation process with few steps needed.
  • Great design & appearance
  • Very simple operating environment almost beginner friendly compared other Linux distros like ubuntu that require additional processes such installing drivers.etc..to work properly

A good alternative especially with low system requirements

I love how light weight it makes my computer feel, so much in fact i can almost do everything without having an actual OS running! It's not very customizable though but other lightweight DEs are just as easy to use if you're willing put forth some effort into finding themes or customizing things yourself (which isn't difficult at all). If your looking for something super fast this might be what you want because there really aren;t any downsides except maybe RAM usage could go up depending on…

Pros
  • And also no lag whatsoever during startup unlike unity3d _
Cons
  • Not the best

A good lightweight distribution with awesome customization

It looks great, it's easy to use and light weight so its ideal for older computers or those who are less tech savvy. It also has many useful features which makes it very versatile as an all round OS. I personally dislike the fact you can't have more than one application open at once. You can only work in one program then switch between them. This can easily be solved by adding a tabbed style interface to the task bar. Other than this there's nothing major i disliked about xfce. If you're…

Pros
  • The interface isn't complicated and its very easy to navigate
Cons
  • You can't have a tabbed style interface for multiple programs running at once
