What do you like best about Xubuntu?

The XFCE desktop environment is used by the Ubuntu variant known as Xubuntu. It is made to move quickly and be light. Some features, such as support for automated updates and software installation via repositories, are absent from other Ubuntu flavors.

For applications in robotics, programming, artificial intelligence, and other fields of study and research, Linux is the superior operating system. Due to the lack of native drivers in the operating system, it suffers problems when utilized on laptops with recently manufactured hardware components. The outdated equipment can include laptops and PCs.

Increases communication speed with distributed computing.

Robotics, academic study, and software creation. Xubuntu also has a web browser, email client, office suite, and photo editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xubuntu?

Couldn't identify as many problems, but a few minor ones are Upgrade Experience, User Desktop Experience, and Cloud Services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Xubuntu?

Xubuntu is a lightweight and customizable operating system based on the Ubuntu Linux distribution. Some of the most helpful and upsides of using Xubuntu include:

Low system requirements: Xubuntu is designed to run on older or low-spec hardware, making it an excellent choice for users who want a fast and responsive system without having to upgrade their computer.

Customizable interface: Xubuntu comes with a clean and simple user interface that is easy to customize according to individual preferences.

Stability and reliability: Xubuntu is known for its stability and reliability, which makes it an excellent choice for users who want a dependable operating system that won't crash or cause data loss.

Access to a vast software library: Xubuntu comes with access to a vast software library, including popular applications like LibreOffice, Firefox, and Thunderbird, as well as thousands of open-source software packages that can be easily installed.

Security: Like Ubuntu, Xubuntu receives regular security updates to keep users protected against potential threats.

Overall, Xubuntu is an excellent choice for users who want a fast, customizable, and reliable operating system that can run on a variety of hardware configurations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xubuntu?

While Xubuntu has many benefits, there are also a few downsides that users should be aware of, including:

Limited support: Unlike mainstream operating systems like Windows or macOS, Xubuntu is a community-supported distribution, which means that support may be limited.

Learning curve: Switching to a Linux-based operating system like Xubuntu can have a learning curve for users who are used to Windows or macOS. It may take some time to adjust to the different interface and software options.

Compatibility issues: Some applications may not be compatible with Linux, which means users may have to find alternative software or use a compatibility layer such as Wine.

Driver issues: While Xubuntu supports a wide range of hardware, some drivers may not be available for certain devices, which can result in compatibility issues.

Lack of pre-installed multimedia codecs: By default, Xubuntu doesn't include pre-installed multimedia codecs, which means that users may have to install them manually to play certain media files.

Overall, while Xubuntu is a solid and reliable operating system, it may not be the best fit for all users, particularly those who need extensive support or are heavily invested in specific software ecosystems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Xubuntu?

The functionality and usage of this operating system are fantastic.It's pretty light, and the navigational parameters are quite good to handle. However, we need to install some software to make it run smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xubuntu?

The lazy thing is that it's a little slow and takes a lot of memory space for specific software due to ample consumption of resources. Another reason is that we need to download various drives to run particular software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
