    Question Which is the correct, official website for Lubuntu?

    Confusingly, there seem to be two websites for Lubuntu:


    They're not the same, and yet they seem to point to the same downloads from the Ubuntu website.

    Do you know why there are two?
    Which website should I use and refer to others?

    EDIT: The correct link is lubuntu.me.

    There are more than just the two you mention if you use a search engine and don't limit your language to english.

    If unsure, I'd suggest use ubuntu.com instead of a search engine, you'll end up at https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours which contains the official web site for each flavor.

    fyi: http://lubuntu.me/ is the official site, the official manual is found at https://manual.lubuntu.me/, the Lubuntu forum at https://discourse.lubuntu.me/ etc
