- noir_lord 11y agoBoth are great, Xubuntu is excellent and still my goto since it has pretty much exactly the features I want from a DE. It's nice to have good choices that use the old paradigms. XFCE 4.12 pretty much feels exactly like Gnome 2 towards the end.
- teekert 11y agoUbuntu Mate is also great on the Raspberry Pi. all the GPIO stuff just works as in Raspbian but you get a more modern desktop (using the classical gnome2 layout) and Ubuntu as the base (which to mee means easier setup of things like a mail server.) I'm hoping Owncloud starts to use Snaps.
- satysin 11y agoI would love to see an "official" Cinnamon build in the way we have Xubuntu, etc.
