Xubuntu Reviews & Product Details

One of the strengths of the Xubuntu distribution is definitely its lightweight graphical interface, which is easy to use and manage. In addition, the update process for its base kernel (the Linux kernel) and the software that supports the entire operating system are well suited to the needs of users who interact with this operating system on a daily basis. Of the Ubuntu distributions we have worked with, the one that gives us the most satisfaction is the one with this XFace interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In some specific situations, for software repositories that are not standard for the software package management system, it becomes somewhat complicated for novice users to update/upgrade these software platforms, since the usual way to solve any type of problem is solely and exclusively through console commands. Of course, this is not a problem for users with intermediate/advanced knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Xubuntu is how practical and dependable it feels in daily use. It runs smoothly without demanding a lot of system resources, which makes a noticeable difference, especially on machines that aren’t very high-end. The desktop stays responsive even when multiple applications are open, and I don’t have to worry about sudden slowdowns or freezes. I also appreciate the simple and uncluttered layout, as it keeps things easy to navigate and avoids unnecessary distractions. Overall, it feels like an operating system that focuses on stability and efficiency rather than flashy features, which suits my work style well. The installation and initial setup are straightforward, even for someone who doesn’t want to spend a lot of time configuring the system. I use it regularly because it stays fast and reliable for day-to-day tasks, which makes it practical for continuous use. Whenever I’ve needed help, the community support and documentation have been very useful, with clear solutions available for most common issues. Xubuntu also integrates well with the applications and tools I normally use, so installing and running software doesn’t require much extra effort. Overall, it feels simple to implement, easy to maintain, and dependable for everyday work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn’t anything I strongly dislike about Xubuntu, but some aspects do take a bit of getting used to. The desktop is very minimal by design, so users coming from more visually rich environments may initially feel that it looks basic. Also, certain customizations or applications may require a little manual setup compared to more mainstream operating systems. That said, these are more about personal preference, and the simplicity actually helps keep the system fast and stable once you adjust to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing I like most about xubuntu is it runs superfast even in a computer with low ram or storage and also it needs less resources to work

And one of the best advantage is it's highly customisable and light weight with timely updates Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ui is too boring we need to customise it and we need to put extra effort in setting up the things like from the theme to keyboard shortcuts, power management, gestures and every thing you needed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ubuntu-like operating system that is very fast and lightweight. Can work well on older hardware as well. Free and open-source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Xubuntu lacks built-in polish in areas like UI consistency and preinstalled apps, so you may spend time configuring things yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it has low resource usage, It is a very reliable software and they have excellent hardware support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only cons I can think of would be the minimal setup and installation process can be troublesome to find what I need to work with. With that being said there is a little bit of a learning curve to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Full compatibility with the Ubuntu ecosystem (including debian packager for .deb and apt support) with a simple and resource-efficient UI that is more familiar to Windows users than Gnome/KDE/Unity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Light UI has less eyecandy than other distributions, but this is of course intentional so that it runs well on older or underpowered hardware while remaining completely usable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Runs smoothly even on older or low-spec machines. Uses fewer system resources compared to heavier desktops. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The design is clean but not very modern. Animations and visual polish are limited compared to heavier desktops. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked Xubuntu because it was a very light and fast system, which helped a lot in my previous ecosystem. It was modern and easy to use, with good performance even on old hardware. I appreciated its stability, security, and the extensive amount of compatible libraries and applications. The lightness and efficiency of the XLC environment were extremely beneficial for me, consuming much less memory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the appearance of Xubuntu looks a bit outdated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

XUbuntu is a good derivitive of Linux as it uses less resources than the standard Gnome desktop. Ubuntu is a great open source solution, offering solid support for apps to run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
