Xubuntu 13.04 review - Et tu, Brute?

[Dedoimedo]

My experience with Xubuntu 13.04:

I've written a long, thorough review of Xubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail 64-bit edition, focusing on live session, complex installation in a seven-boot system with internal and external disks, and post-install use and tweaks, including look & feel of the Xfce desktop environment, Wireless, Samba sharing, Nvidia drivers installation and subsequent kernel crashes and reinstall, applications, multimedia playback - Flash and MP3, package management, updates, Steam client, stability, speed, responsiveness, resources usage, susend & resume, customization, some tiny quirks, and more.

... Consistency and predictability of response are the two most important components of a system and its upgrades...

That's the key, I completely agree with you.

Anyway, congratulations, it's a good review.

well written.

they hsould have tested on nvidia card laptop and AMD hybrid chip laptop. not only intel.

i mean how can such basic things go through unnoticed is really strange to me.

I am currently running Xubuntu 13.04 and it is a solid release. No huge improvements since the last release, just a bit more polished. After using Unity for a few months, I am glad to be back on Xfce.

I'm using xubuntu 13.04 as well, and it's been solid as a rock so far.

Executive summary?

I've always considered Xubuntu the best out of the bunch.

...hrm... whose job is it to test a community-developed distro against your hardware? Wait, wait... it's coming to me... don't tell me...
