I think a lot of times recommending Lubuntu or other niche distros to first-time linux users is a mistake.
Instead one should recommend using KDE or Gnome and turning down all of the graphical settings if needed to improve performance.
- mattl 3y agoI think it comes from the idea that you should install Linux to get more time out of aging hardware.
- ParetoOptimal 3y agoYeah, but for first time users I maintain it'd be better to risk potential slowness than "fast but unacceptable user experience".
- mattl 3y agoFully agree. I don’t really know what the user groups are doing these days? Are installfests still a thing?
