I have recently switched to XUbuntu. I tried it a number of times over the past few years but never thought much of it, however, since the 13.10 release it absolutely rocks! This is a screenshot of my desktop:

The whole GNOME 3 and Unity debacle had me searching for a decent desktop replacement and I was stuck with Ubuntu 11.04 which ran out of support long ago.. XUbuntu is definitely the desktop distro for me.
- davidw 13y agoYeah, I switched to that too. It's by developers, for developers. I feel that Ubuntu is kind of chasing taillights with this whole mobile business, but maybe they'll prove me wrong.
- Of_Prometheus 13y agoI switched to Xubuntu from Ubuntu, as well. Although it being catered to lower-end systems than Ubuntu is what drew me in, I've been most happy with its customisability, the highlight of which is panel (i.e. taskbar) control. Its depth goes so far for something I installed just because I wanted something light.
- kriro 13y agoI run Xubuntu on my netbook and desktop. I just randomly went with it some day and really like it. I'm not exactly a "power user" and haven't customized a ton. It does most things the way I want them to be :)
- redacted 13y agoThis is a reply to user 'Of_Prometheus' - you have been hell banned and your comments are invisible to the vast majority of HN readers. What is slightly worrying about this is that Of_Prometheus does not appear to be a troll of any type. He or she has been posting well-written and almost completely benign comments for nearly two years, and nothing in them seems to warrant the ban.
