What is the best distro and why is it Xubuntu?

>What is the best ______ and why is it ______ ?
Okay user

Being this new...

install solus

Nonsense. Xubuntu has never looked that good. Source?

Doesn't matter though since Xfce is useless for touchscreens.

I bet you even call your self an "oldfag"

You mispelled Lubuntu user.

Well, it's Xubuntu because it's Debian.

I too would like to know the source. I love xfce and ubuntu and if I could make it look like that i would reinstall.

Solus sin't even a distro lul just some hipster desktop. it is resource friendly thats true but thats it. eopkg as manager how can you even live without rpm- or dpkgware?
it doesn't even have man pages

I bet you even call your self an "oldfag"

Solus
>why is it Xubuntu?
It isn't

ARE YOU FUKING RETARDED YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT A DISTRO IS

You can't even white text like me.
>you can only do it on solus

Why the fuck would you use xubuntu and not KDE Neon? They are esseantially the same, except Neon has a bit fresher KDE software.

I think you're thinking of Kubuntu

>implying

Lol

That's not how you spell Solus

For once, OP is not a faggot.

Best distro, because it is easy to setup, looks and works good with default settings, has Debian as its core but has none of that freetard shit like refusing to ship with proprietary drivers and it doesn't take a full time job to maintain and fix like Arch.

No. LXDE is worse than XFCE in almost every possible way, except base memory usage. Even that is negligible, unless you have a really old pc with like 256 MB RAM but at that point you are better off with only a WM like WindowMaker. Also, LXDE is a dead project now, LXQT is far from ready.

macOS

>with only a WM like WindowMaker
you don't know what DE and WM mean

I do. DE = WM + other programs. E.g. LXDE = Openbox + Lxpanel + lxterm + other shit. But correct me if I'm wrong.

right so if you use a bare WM wouldn't you also use a panel + file browser + widgets + internet browser? Therefore making a DE?

Arch is easy to maintain. The first installation is time consuming but that's it.

Ok, Satan, did they ever fix the ever present screen tearing issue? Don't give me that Compton shit either because that doesn't work. Other than that, I love Xubuntu/xfce. Great feature-rich distro/DE.

I use xubuntu.
Comfy as fuck that little distro.

I like centOS too with xfce.

The one that I use is the best one.

Are you that hackintosh dude?

>that php nonsense
ah the nostalgia

abandon ship while you can bro

I used DE in a sense that it is a preconfigured set of packages like LXDE, XFCE, Gnome, etc.

With contrast to this, I was suggesting that one with low system resources should install Window Maker and a set of packages they need to (e.g. browser, file manager, terminal emulator, etc) to make a more barebone but less resource consuming setup than even LXDE, the lightest preconfigured desktop environment.

I was talking about Window Maker, not all other WMs. Notice how Window Maker doesn't require a separate dock.

This.

CentOS just werkz for work related stuff.

not that it really matters, but im a girl

...

there's no need for that, if your system was made post-1995 it should run LXDE just fine

I really doubt that Solus has been renamed to Xubuntu lately...

Looks like arc-dark with numix icon theme. Its easy to make xfce look nice.

but is it easy to get rid of the godawful screen tearing, even with compton turned on?

Post that Making please

...

Gracias.

>has Debian as its core but has none of that freetard shit like refusing to ship with proprietary drivers
FUD

Debian has iso images with binary only drivers included

And when you install from an image without binary drivers the Debian installers detects if you have hardware that needs non-free firmware and prompts you with a link to download. You write on a usb flash drive, plug it in and you're good to go

>source
That's how I installed Debian on my laptop

Ubuntu Mate or Xubuntu?

Ubuntu MATE.

using lubuntu right here, can i join your club ?

why are Sup Forums debating horrible debian forks?
if you use Sup Forums you should be able to run debian

Not everyone likes deprecated packages

Get the kek out of here

Compiz > Compton
Unity > *

Best font rendering and video playback with no screen tearing. Vanilla Ubuntu is the best Linux experience.

Xubuntu is the single best "just works" distro out there and is always the one I recommend for anyone wanting to try out Linux.

Word. Fucking. Up.

Solemn agree.
I just hope shit isn't wrecked when Unity 8 and Mir hit.

Unity is dog shit. V-sync in Xfce eliminates 90% of screen tearing and I can live with the remainder in exchange for a DE designed for a desktop/laptop instead of a damned tablet.

Compton is a massive fuckup on xfce which leaves black borders and invisible boxes around tooltips and menus. You need to rely on configs from other people to make it work and still it feels like shit when you play YouTube videos in browser.

Compiz takes care of everything OOB with GUI manager provides far more customization especially for full screen games where you need OpenGL and other tweaks.

Well I think Unity on a desktop is comfy af so up yours bitch

>Compton is a massive fuckup on xfce which leaves black borders and invisible boxes around tooltips and menus

never seen any such thing

rollMike

you must have shadows disabled

Yes, I do, but I never saw any black borders or invisible boxes when I had them enabled.

that's weird because it's a widely reported issue that Compton fucks up shadows for certain menus like the panel popups and Synaptic. It used to do for Software but I think that was patched

Do you mean those shadows after it fades away? I think it's really not a big deal since they also disappear pretty quickly, if that's what you mean

>What is the best distro and why is it Peppermint OS?

Fixed that for you.

I feel like that is a screenshot of solus with budgie

Screenshot is from /r/unixporn
The poster even describes how to get this look on his thread
It's definitely xfce

Link?

Show me a working file picker. I'll wait.

Every distro is the same minus release model, package management and default configuration.

But Satan, that's not Gentoo with Cinnamon.

Debian is an inferior ubuntu

Go back to Sup Forums underage faggot

Ubuntu is literally Debian rebadged

With more hardware and PPA supports
