![]() There is no reason for me to use anything other than Debian, because I can make anything out of Debian. That is precisely the reason, I stopped distro hopping many years ago and decided on Debian. However, you can accomplish whatever you want, exactly the way you want, if you just take the base distribution yourself and adjust it to your needs. ![]() Some want a lean and lightweight experience (Peppermint OS), others specialize on something very specific (Ubuntu Studio) and further want to run on old computers (LXLE) and so on. Once you also understand that, you will see, that all these different distributions are nothing magic, they are just custom configurated base distributions, with certain goals in mind. Peppermint OS, LXLE, Devuan, and many many many many other distributions, are nice, have their quirks and stuff, but ultimately, they are all based on the same OS: Ubuntu and Debian.Īdditionally, all the differences, that always pop into everyone’s eyes are the different WMs and DEs, as a modular part of the distribution, but at the same time are not an essential, unchangable part about that distribution, since you can change whatever DE or WM you are using, any time. The reason is, that most distributions are based on already established ones. There is barely any difference between all those operating systems. I was still very fresh to the Linux world and was just beginning to dive into it.Īfter all these years and accumulated experience, I have to swallow the red pill: That said, I have general advice on such questions, for everyone:Ībout ten years ago I was distro hopping like a maniac, trying out anything that I found remotely interesting. I didn’t really have any complaints, though I only tested it shortly and the only issue I found was that the weather indicator wasn’t working as it should. I installed LXLE on a very old computer for someone else, once. So is there anyone using LXLE and who can tell me anything about it experience-wise? I came across LXLE which is derived from Lubuntu and it seems to me that it´s much more similar to bionic Lubuntu. I´d very much like to stick to the LXDE dektop and to as many applications as possible in relation to my current Lubuntu (bionic). Not only is the ubiquity installer exchanged for calamares but a huge amount of default applications won´t be the same either. Watching some introductory videos on YouTube almost gave me some sort of a culture shock. With the move from LXDE to LXQt there are going to be vast differences. The thing is: Lubuntu won´t be the same any more. And I´m planning on using bionic until then.īut I don´t want to leave things til´ the last minute and so I´m letting my thoughts wander to what I´m going to do. I know it´s a bit early for considering moving to focal fossa as bionic beaver will receive updates until April next year. And I´ve always been very satisfied with it. I´ve been using Lubuntu 64 bit LTS for the past few years on my machine (Lenovo-H520e PC). That´s what wikipedia tells me ( Lubuntu – Wikipedia ). Can't remember since I do so much all the time I get lost on the past.I just want to ask if anybody has got any experience with LXLE.ĭistroWatch ranks it as place 67 at the time of writing ( ).Īs I understand LXLE is a derivative of Lubuntu. I never corresponded with the developer or joined their forum though. She the Amrel would probably have a stroke. Has left me just leaving it on the shelf. I have not fired it up in ages as the P4 it has coupled with 512MB sdram I still have that Amrel Laptop and thatĪntiX 8.5 LXDE core install Hard Drive (hard drives are 5 second swaps on that laptop). = SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE =īut that was back when LXDE in Debian was new and kinda flaky. It was more of a PITA than it was worth though. Media center worked a little harder using it. I remember there were some bugs during install and my Emachine I think I deleted LXLE and kept my Base 11 AntiX install instead. I think I installed it on my Dumpster Emachine 3507 pentium 4, 1 gig ram Desktop while I was rescuing my AntiX 11 install.Īfter I got my AntiX 11 install fixed. It must not have left a lasting impression. It is a more featured version of Lubuntu. I have installed and ran it a couple of times.
