Comments and Reviews
Xubuntu is an official lightweight flavor of Ubuntu designed for budget computers and old hardware, it feels like using a modern Windows XP but way better.
Their is no status/log while loading. The iso goes to grub but trying or installing just loads indefinitely. Check disc reported no defects. This is the only distro without logging/status display during loading SO I can't debug. If you're determined to use ubuntu/xfce then use Linux Mint Xfce... Mint community is way more active and I only had to run in safe graphics mode.
That’s strange; I never had any issues installing Xubuntu, not even on quite old netbooks.
Xubuntu is my favourite OS, as I like the way it can be configured, and that it runs fast and smoothly on rather old hardware.
What I dislike is, that Snap gets installed without giving the choice to contradict, so you have to remove Snap later. And this is the reason why I’m thinking if I should change to Debian (where all Ubuntus are derived from anyway). But the point is, (X)Ubuntu is a bit easier to use and a bit more flexible.
If you have a Nvidia card and have been experiencing issues with other Linux distros, then Xubuntu is probably your solution. It's much lighter than the regular Ubuntu and doesn't have any of the Amazon bloatware.
