So like the title says, I just want to appreciate how good ubuntu+xfce (xubuntu) is. I love the simplicity & how lightweight this distro. There’s no bloat on minimal install, to the point I need to install the essential tools like task manager, music player, image viewer & xarchiver myself lol.

Nvidia driver installed without any problem, I can switch from on demand & performance mode flawlesly using nvidia x server. I also can make L2TP vpn working on xubuntu, dunno why but I’m having problem when using it on debian & win 11.

I’ll try using xubuntu as my daily driver. Wish I’ll never facing any problem in the future, especially about compatibility with ms.office.

    I really hope XFCE gets a port to wayland. I love the GTK2 desktops. I am young enough to remember GTK3 dropping when I was in middle school. I just never really liked gnome 3+ but I still use it for my HTPC (gnome works wonders on a TV)

    Definitely consider KDE wayland if/when nvidia cards play nicer with that. Gnome is usable but buggy with nvidia but on my system (RTX 2060) KDE does not fair well.

    Your desktop looks like that anime girl is staring at that ominous terminal, displaying neofetch while floating in the middle of her city

    I used Xubuntu for a while in the past. I liked the simplicity of the UI

    Well, compatibility with the MS office suite on Linux is pretty terrible in my experience. But I’ve used libreoffice for years with zero issues.

    Xfce is one of my favorite DEs, snappy and light

    compatibility with ms.office.

    that’d be more of an application issue (libreoffice, onlyoffice, etc) than an xfce issue

    ms. office compatibility is not always that great, with openoffice, libre office etc. depending on the complexity of your files. try using the older office formats like .doc instead of .docx. i have found that to work best when sharing files with ms office users. or run office in a vm

      i watched brodie’s video about offic suits, and I dont think he likes onlyoffice at all. Why? Besides the fact that its based off electron, it just works.

      Im more of a libreoffice kind of person, but i dont understand the hate

        ive just a lot off different office suits, and they all do almost the same on linux. i think its just which UI do you prefer.
