Sometimes some drivers are not available for some devices. You need then spend a lot of time to find solution how to connect something and even if you do this with success it will have limitations and not all functionality will be available Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The installation process is simple, and it functions very well out of the box. The interface is clean, and it does what it needs to do. We had an old Thinkpad x41 tablet/laptop sitting around, and we now can use it for basic needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some might say that it isn't the most flashy flavor of Linux, but it is customizable. With a little love, you can get this looking stylish and flashy. Keep in mind; this is a distro designed to get your old hardware working again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The xfce desktop is great. The ability to select GTK themes is really nice. The easy to use features like workplace switcher are way better than those on Ubuntu or traditional Linux distributions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At the moment, Xubuntu is not suited for server related tasks. Also, networking could be improved. The learning curve can be steep. Anything graphics realted is difficult to make it work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All downsides of Ubuntu – bugs in gui, outdated packages, no AUR Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Xubuntu is a community-powered operating system and gives users the feel of 'sticking it to the man'. The desktop configuration is refreshing and clean, without the added junk you see within traditional operating systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a community powered operating system, support is limited, and patches are few and far between. While the system works well and has very feel kinks, you do not have the added security of the 'name' brands behind it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface isn't that much friendly in my personal experience. But yes, coming from Ubuntu and other such tools we have already worked with minimal UI so Xubuntu isn't a deal breaker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the Xfce desktop environment that the os offers. Unlike lubuntu it doesn't miss out on main system navigation features on the other hand it isn't as heavy as Ubuntu as well. It lies in a sweet spot Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Coming from a windows OS, I think the dock could've been moved at the bottom by default and the terminal app it ships could've a few more customisation options Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
