- With the XFCE desktop, Mint isn't quite as lightweight as Lubuntu, but it is still fast and a good choice for older hardware. beat_truck • May 2018
- Lubuntu is designed to be fast and usable on older computers. Linux Mint is a heavyweight, full-featued OS that would slow an older PC to a crawl. WeCanDoThis52 • Jan 2018 • 0 agrees and 1 disagrees

- Xubuntu is still light weight distro, with richer features and software. It's more user friendly. Its XFCE is closer to those well-known full featured desktop enviroments like Unity, Gnome and KDE than LXDE is. Guest • Jul 2017 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees
- I prefer to use it instead of Lubuntu, because Xfce is way better than LXDE and both don't consume too many resources. programadorveg • Jul 2018
