- tomrod 14y agoMeh, Lubuntu or just go Openbox.
- keithpeter 14y agoOr, presumably, use the Gnome Shell? I take it Canonical are not changing the search packages in GS.
- scythe 14y agoWhen I used LXDE, it had a long way to go before it could be considered equivalent to Xfce, and I ended up switching back. The ultra-lightweight window managers may be in fashion, but Xfce is mature and polished and easy enough for my mother to use, and I can't say that about Lubuntu. The typical Ubuntu user probably won't miss much on Xubuntu. When they find that mrxvt doesn't let them use Ctrl-C/V to copy and paste, they'll be mystified. Ditto for Openbox's wu wei panel management.
- tomrod 14y agoWu Wei?
- tomrod 14y agoOh, I see what Wu Wei is now. I use tint2 as a "panel" of sorts in Openbox, and modify menu.xml for anything else I need. I like it well enough. Also, modifying rc.xml allows one to set hotkeys.
- mmagin 14y agoI had a similar experience. Xfce could handle my differently-sized dual-monitor setup easily. LXDE failed such that it thought to put some things off-screen where I could never reach them.
