I just installed Xubuntu on a new laptop. I was blown away at how beautiful it looks in comparison with Ubuntu. I'm very glad to see Ubuntu get over it's fetish for its old ugly color scheme.
- swah 17y agoI disliked the Dark theme for ubuntu 9.
- revorad 17y agoXubuntu is beautiful and fast. I like it much better than Ubuntu.
- cookiecaper 17y agoIt's the same thing with XFCE as the default window manager.

- cookiecaper 17y agoWell, saying "I like Xubuntu better than Ubuntu" kind of makes it seem like he thinks they're different. Xubuntu is just the name of the spin that comes with XFCE by default. If you're using Ubuntu or Xubuntu, you're still using Ubuntu. The right comparison here would be, "I like Ubuntu's XFCE theme much better than their GNOME theme", or whatever the specific case is. Maybe he likes XFCE better altogether, and then it's "I like XFCE more than GNOME". See what I am saying here?
- flubba 17y agoYep, my bad >.<
- genieyclo 17y agoXubuntu is actually pretty bloated in slow, in some tests even worse than the standard Ubuntu install. (see <http://www.linux-mag.com/cache/7520/1.html> http://www.linux-mag.com/cache/7520/1.html> ). Lubuntu, which is the "official" Ubuntu sub-distro for light fast iso for small-spec computers runs on LXDE instead of XFCE and is purportedly much better on resources and faster. I think the real reason why Xubuntu is so bad is because all the other junk from Ubuntu Gnome got packaged in with Xfce and got called Xubuntu.
