Lubuntu is it good ? What is the difference between it and Ubuntu?

    It's literally Ubuntu with the LxDE desktop environment (and yes, I do realize that I just said "Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment desktop environment").

    So, if you like LxDE, go for it. Personally, I like Cinnamon better, but I know some people like i3 and others swear by Awesome....

    @mariem like @RiderExMachina said, but if u want more lightweight, avoid desktop environment.

    Ubtuntu uses the GNOME desktop environment, Lubuntu uses the LXDE desktop environment. However I prefer Kubuntu with the K desktop environment (KDE).

    @Zennoe Sorry, I was half awake when I posted that.

    Lubuntu is pretty snappy on older hardware. I keep a core2 duo ThinkPad running with it and it still feels quite usable with the latest version (zesty).

    @Jop- Its not a stripdown, its a full blown ubuntu with lxde as a default desktop env which make it lightweight.

    Lubuntu user here. It's just a ubuntu with lxde instead gnome, and lightweight replacement of most software, like abiword, gnumeric, mtpaint, mplayer, etc. I like lubuntu because it is a very simple environment. It remembers me win95, just an start menu with organized apps without these fancy animations or intuitive bullshit. When I fresh install lubuntu I remove all lightweight apps and install the mainstream ones like libreoffice, vlc, firefox, etc.

    @matsaki95 I don't remember if it is Midori or Firefox. But I think you're right.
