I was so happy I got the Lubuntu iso burnt (newbie) and am running off it now that I had to tell somebody who would understand, lol! Yay! Hopefully I can completely get rid of windows at some point soon.

Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For me, LXDE is a desktop envirnoment which suits my needs the best. Unity i really dislike a lot, it's rubbish and the biggest mistake ever together with Gnome3. Xfce looks nice but does not really meet my needs. Linux Mint works good, but with some things it feels a bit fuzzy... I used Ubuntu from version 7.04 up till 10.04.3 LTS and since Canonical introduced that ugly Unity (which in my opninion suits more on a netbook) i'm kinda on a search for the best desktop environment. LXDE is the best so far, although it does have some drawbacks. But tell me, which desktop environment doesn't have any drawbacks? For now i'm trying out Lubuntu 12.04.

What is you can do with LXDE that you can't with XFCE? Very curious, have used both but LXDE seems more limited, good for low memory machines.

I know LXDE has some limitations, but i don't mind that. It's pretty much a basic DE with low specs and without all those bells and whistles and other fancy stuff which is just nothing more than resource consuming overkill. LXDE gives me a fresh and bare desktop environment. It's not that i want to do something with the desktop environment, i'm not there for the DE, the DE has to be there for me. And i want a stable environment to work with. LXDE gives me the impression/feeling that it is there for the user and not the other way around.

Awesome! I bookmarked both pages.


Lars Nooden: I'm having a blast!

Artemis.3: My processor doesn't even support pae (to quote someone else here). I tried and can't run Ubuntu.

Coldraven: Thanks! I prefer tira misu when offered the choice.

FeForce9500GT & tonyd33fan: Even Lubuntu is doing everything I initially wanted and needed it to, lovin' it!

EDIT: lol, my first attempt at multi quoting. I'll figure it out, hehe.

God willing, your attitude is what the vast majority of new ubuntu/linux users are like

Have fun!
