Xubuntu Appreciation Thread

[mikodo]

I cut my linux chops on gnome2, like a lot of newer users. I was really, really sad to hear of it dying. I dual-boot OS's now between Ubuntu 10.04 and Xubuntu 12.04 and honestly, the more I learn about configuring Xfce, the more I like Xubuntu 12.04.

I spend most of my time in Xubuntu 12.04 with Xfce 4.12 now, and will not have any trouble computing without gnome2, once Ubuntu 10.04 reaches EOL.

I am very happy I have found Xubuntu.

;p

"Elegant" is the term I would use. Simple and intuitive, and fast. Nice default values for fonts and window styles.

I'm very productive on it, and my gripes are few.

Now, if we could just replace that rat...

I've got LXDE on my Xubuntu 12.10, does that make it LXubuntu now?

The boy who introduced me to Xubuntu put it this way:

Bestest most wonderfulest Linux in the history of ever!

I can't top that.

Long time Ubuntu user and now a refugee from Ubuntu/Unity.

Been using Xubuntu for a couple of months now and it's absolutely phenomenal !

Why not a seperate stand alone Xubuntu forum like most other Ubuntu branched distros ?

There used to be one in the dim and distant past. At some point they must have chosen to close it and use this one.

If you want to specifically search here for Xubuntu threads - I use

ubuntuforums.org/search.php?do=process&prefixchoice[]=xubuntu

Elfy, just one more question from me: But would it be doable if there was just Xubuntu theming for this forum available instead of a standalone forum? What i mean is actually only a colour change, so that everything that's orange in the existing theme would be a nice Xubu shade of blue? If that's doable in any way. It would ofcourse be opt-in, so the default is orange and you than manually choose the blue one over the orange. + does the old forum theme exist anymore, i really liked it?


And next, on Xubuntu. Someone mentioned default font values - those are the best in any distro i have ever tried. And yes, i know you can change them in any distro, but the thing is, that preconfiguration is very important to first time users. I wish Xfce would use the greybird theme by default, instead of the ugly looking one

Maybe someone can create a Stylish one.
