The first time I tried Lubuntu, was on an old, no-name brand laptop with Windows XP, that a friend gave me. Installed in a few minutes, and was pleasantly surprised how performant and usable it is, considering the limited hardware resources. I mostly just use it as a browser and book reader, but for giving new life to old laptops, I think Lubuntu works great. Not sure how much of a threat to the market it is though.. Hopefully it provides an open-source option for educational purposes and the "next billion" in the developing world.
- anoncoward111 8y agoI highly, highly, highly, highly agree!!!! So glad someone else out there likes it. It's like ubuntu with snapiness, of course. Lubuntu is really like "teaching a man to fish". If you give them instructions on how to install it, then suddenly nobody will ever need a shiny new $1700 macbook to get started with basic programming and content rich web browsing. Though personally I prefer text :)
