Xubuntu Pros and Cons

Clean, clutterless Xfce interface distro for my favorite operating system - Ubuntu. Needs lesser resources than regular Ubuntu distro. Works with just 512 MB RAM and 5 GB hard disk. Even with lesser resources, I am able to run all my general use software at same efficiency as the regular Ubuntu. Exhaustive documentation is available. A very active community forum is also available if we get stuck with something. And, best of all it's free! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Whatever I wanted to use my laptop for, I could. Haven't found anything yet to dislike about Xubuntu :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Xubuntu handles the fallacies of gnome environment and makes it more intuitive. Most of the people prefer a MacOs for development because it supports the linux kernel natively and still doesn't use Ubuntu as the primary Os. Xubuntu solves that and makes it more intuitive.

Xubuntu is very intuitive but still lags behind the MacOs and sometimes the Gnome UI. I felt the lack of market penetration leaves Xubuntu with less support of community like less stackoverflow pages to solve the common issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Xubuntu is simply amazing. Not in a way of how flashy it is, but because of how light and fast the OS feels. I'm running every OS imaginable (Win, macOS, Linux) and find Xubuntu to be the best for when you need to get maximum efficiency out of any hardware. Yes, it might not be an ideal OS for media creators, but for marketers it's more than enough.

I like how light Xubuntu feels and the fact that you can customize it the way you want the system to look and behave. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With every major release come new bugs and issues. This is a plague of all Linux distros, but still. Each time I have to wait a few months before deciding to upgrade the system as a lot of the stuff I need daily might brake. Overall, if you know what you're doing, there won't be problems, but I would still like to see some more stability out of Xubuntu. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Xubuntu is a Linux OS, a variant of Ubuntu. This is very easy to use for everyone because Xubuntu looks like Windows OS, we can program and using Xubuntu like a real and basic operating system. This Linux OS is 100% customizable, we can create a desktop like Windows or Mac OS, or like basic Ubuntu. There is a lot of software and this is a fast operating system. There is 2 options for installing : a graphical and a programming setup. I personally use the graphical setup this is very easy to install. There is every languages, good and easy to setup and use like another operating system ! Everything we want for an OS is in Xubuntu, and because this is with the Linux core, this is open-source and customizable ! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only one problem I dislike is for every softwares, there is software for linux, windows or macOs, If we switch to Xubuntu, every tools and softwares we used are not compatible with Xubuntu for example Windows softwares. I know there is a linux tool for installing and using Windows software in Xubuntu (the name of the tool is Wine), it's cool but a little unstable, so, I don't use it, but everything we need is already on Xubuntu.

I like ubuntu, but sometimes I need just few features of the Linux and Xububtu fulfills the need. Plus I like the interface more than Ubuntu. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Flexibility and it's a flavour of ubuntu. Open source, support from community, easy install. XFCE and Gnome, I'd choose XFCE anyday. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since it's not the original distribution it doesn't have support for few plugins and packages Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it was fast, even on old hardware. It had a lot of pre-installed games that were fun to play. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I didn't like the fact that the menu was a little hard to navigate through to find what I was looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It will basically run on a toaster. Turn older laptops into worthy machines again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. Perhaps people who are not use to linux wouldn't prefer it over flashier shells. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
