What do you like best about Xubuntu?

Xubuntu version is best in Linux distributions and easy to handle the system. It's very lightweight operating system for installation. It's perfect for low end hardware or cloud virtual Machin OS.

It's flexible for customization desktop. It's a large repository for open source operating system. Now days we use it every time for developement and other stuffs. Image size is lesser so easily installable. Also integrate with other networking systems because base is Linux system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xubuntu?

The most common issue is installing software from outside resource. Limited bleeding-edge features becuase now days some operating system gives latest updates. Desktop look is simpler. There is huge community support for related issue but sometimes for begginer it's quite challenging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Xubuntu?

One of the main advantages of Xubuntu is its lightweight nature, which makes it a great option for older or slower hardware. Xubuntu uses the Xfce desktop environment, which is known for its speed and low system resource usage. This means that even on older or less powerful machines, Xubuntu can provide a smooth and responsive user experience.

Another benefit of Xubuntu is its customization options. Xubuntu comes with a range of pre-installed applications and tools, but users can easily add or remove software to create a personalized computing environment that suits their needs. Xubuntu also offers a variety of themes and customization options for the desktop, allowing users to tailor the look and feel of their system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xubuntu?

Xubuntu may have a learning curve for new users who are not familiar with Linux or the Xfce desktop environment. Some users may need time to adjust to the different layout and customization options, which may be a disadvantage for users who require a more intuitive user interface.
