I use Ubuntu with i3wm because I like it better
>>52171991
People are afraid of customization and the plebs you are quoting are windows users and rely on big companies to do stuff for them.
Lubuntu + i3wm = God tier
Only faggots use anything else
>>52171970
LXLE here. It's awesome.
Because i don't want to use lubuntu
>>52172304
What Richard Stallman complains about does not apply to Lubuntu you pleb. It is only something on Unity.
>>52172064

Doesn't matter. Neither Canonical nor Amazon are ethical companies and you should avoid them.
>>52172381
Allah allows it (everything is allowed if it's not forbi
dden), so there is nothing ethically wrong with it. And using it correctly does not inhibit anyones freedom in any way.
I personally prefer XFCE to be honest.

Like lubuntu
arch + lxde here
lubuntu is for retards who like 2 years old outdated software
also apt fucking sucks dick
>>52171970
because i use gnome
>>52172671
lxde is so lacking that it makes your day harder.
And if you replace all the parts that doesn't have the features you need, why even use lxde in the first place?
>>52172782
what is lacking?
>>52171970
Because I'm using Arch with LXQt instead.
>>52172828
good file manager
good window manager
good launcher
good power manager
good hotkey managager
lxqt was supposed to fix the default applications but other than that, why
>>52171970
Because I use Larch.
>>52172724
This. Gnome is amazing with the right hardware, i.e. lots of ram and multiple monitors. I love it.

>>52173204
Not EVERYONE use the internet to look at child porn. Some people don't... He probably did not even consider the possibility. You can't take it for granted that people look at child porn. It might be common in your own mileu and among your friends, but many other people don't really have any interest in it and only think about stuff like torrenting and other things in regards to VPNs.

>>52171970
Becuase I don't have a 10 year old PC, but I'm ok with people using it.
>>52171970
Lubuntu ans LXDE is crap. Even simple stuff like Strg+C / Strg+X /Strg+V doesn't work reliably. It breaks more often than a Debian or a normal Ubuntu System too, I've tried it for low-end Notebooks.
>>52173204
>>a country where child porn is legal
Wishful thinking, perhaps?
>>52172922
pcmanfm is objectively the best fm
openbox is objectively the best wm
launcher is just a bunch of links, can't get more minimal than that
>power manager
it's 2016 come on
>hotkey manager
just install any of the dozens out there or go full minimalist and just ob config
I am, on my shitty netbook.
>>52174032
pcmanfm looks like a stripped down dolphin.
At least dolphin has a built in terminal so you don't have to launch a new window every time you need to do something in the folder you are in.
In openbox you have to implement everything yourself and the config files blur everything so you have hotkeys and functions blurred together.
launcher is mouse focused menu.
compared to krunner or synapse, it doesn't do anything.
It is not uncommon that people want to search for files, launch applications and do calculations in their launcher. Why limit yourself?
>>52174299
reading up on pcmanfm, it is actually pretty cool implementation.

Lubuntu doesn't conserve that many more resources versess xubuntu OoB. Not reallymuch point unless you have a pretty niche situation
>>52174596
This is my LXQt desktop, I think it's decent at least.

>>52176017
no, its just a rewrite into Qt5 and where the devs and pcman are going
>>52171970
It's a good distro for fast deployment, but if I really wanted a lightweight distro I would do a debian netinstall and install openbox with tint2. Hell, I could even go icewm.
Which DE is best for ricing?
>>52176249
GNOME Shell
>>52176117
I am new to the Linux world and I am currently using Lubuntu.
Is this really lighter?
>>52171970
Because I run Slackware. Feelsgoodman.
>>52171970
because i am not using a commodore 64
I like more control over what's installed by default, so I'm on Debian
>>52176296
If you are new to Linux you probably would regret trying to get stuff like Openbox running like you want. I use something similar (see picture here >>52176082 ) but it involves a lot of writing and changing config files.
>>52172708
I bet you installed Antergos fucking retard faggot

yes it is, at least from all the buntus and with time you will appriciate the posibilities openbox gives you

>Wtf you can customize it faggots
You can also install LXDE from UBANTO, without having to download a whole new distro.
Because it's so "lightweight" that even windows xp is faster

hmm that's weird. On one of my machines I "upgraded" to 15.10 but my boot times got a bit slower which I wasn't happy about.
try running "hardinfo" from command prompt (also can click start menu -> system tools -> system profiler and benchmark)
What does it say under "distribution"? pic related
>>52186592
System failed to start just now.
Upon using my live boot CD, the 4TB hard disk I have is only showing up as 255MB? Which doesn't seem right.
It's also going to a command prompt, which freezes after typing 2 or 3 letters. I'll try and get a picture, but my phone (an iPhone 2G) doesn't have the best picture quality in the world. You'll have to excuse that.

>>52186674
Yeah dude I dunno. I'd just recommend burning a new iso from here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu/LTS
Use the torrent link.
The 32-bit 14.04.3 iso has never let me down so far, put it on 8 computers. (You can grab 64-bit if your processor and chipset support it).
I haven't used live boot systems a whole lot but a bit of weirdness doesn't really surprise me since I think there can be some permissions issues or something I dunno.
Are you trying to partition the disk/ Dual Boot etc? I just go balls deep on most of my machines.
The one with a windows partition seemed to work well with installing windows first, linux second. While you are doing the windows install select "advanced" setup, format the whole thing, then create a big main partition for windows, leaving at least 8 GB of unallocated space that will be your linux partition. I usually go with 32 GB, because if I'm putting winblows on a machine it means it's for gaymes and the linux won't get used too much.
TL;DR: Nuke the drive, start from scratch with a 14.04.3 LTS iso in the link.

>>52186947
Neither are using an SSD.
The Windows XP system is a custom built machine with a PC Chips motherboard (Hurray for clone integrated chipset graphics) and the Ubuntu 14.04 machine is a Toshiba Satellite A135-S4427 with an extra 512MB of RAM and a new 1TB hard disk.

Remember that the faster your computer starts up the faster you can do actual work (or play games, which Linux can't really do much of).
