MX-linux exist.

Also:

y u lie?

>Is there any reason not to use it?

Unlike Debian, Ubuntu has not made the repositories available as .onion service.

Trash.

>>950428

Unlike Debian, Devuan is free of software of anti-user nature and has .onion repositories too.

>>950434

lightweight =/= minimal

Why do you hate logic?

Did you read your post afterwards?

LXQT is the very only sane DE.

>>950444

No thanks.

>>950444

xfce4 is king

I used to like Ubuntu Mate 16.04, but after upgrade to 18.04 I decided to move elsewhere. MX-Linux is much better. Give it a try!

>Is there any reason not to use it?

Yeah, Xfce can do everything MATE can do and more with a similar memory footprint.

>>950522

MATE has normie appeal. That may not be worth something to you or I (I use XFCE too) but it's certainly a metric to measure DE's on. Some people just don't want to tweak shit and fair enough.

>>950561

(Me)

A blunt example is XFCE's default panel is garbage.

>>950434

any examples?

>>950387 (OP)

Ugly as fuck ootb. How customizable is it?

Enjoy the dead board, guys.

>>950716

It's Gnome 2 with GTK3 bindings. It's not hard to customize.

>>950716

As >>950433 pointed out, not that much.

It's heavily limited by it's own set of software and messing around and tweaking it is completely limited to what they give you.

>>950387 (OP)

I have stopped using *buntu distros. Even if I find ubuntu MATE a comfy land for new users I find it horribly unstable compared to Trisquel.

>>950387 (OP)

>mate

ubuntu mate is basically just what ubuntu was before they introduced the horrible unity/gnome3 interface

The old hardware king is antiX. AFAIK lubuntu devs say it has shifted his focus away from old hardware. There are other specialized distros for old hardware around, possibly.

And i did not get trips.

i use xubuntu and systemd

it just werks

Hipster here, Budgie is the best DE and arch is the best distro (unless you have Ryzen).

>>950436

I'd kill you for that answer.

LXDE IS SHIT. IT'S FUCKING BROKEN.

>>950651

Clearly you are from 4cuck. What about going cucking there?

>>950387 (OP)

The best Ubuntu derivative is Kubuntu 18.04.

Seriously, guys, try it out. KDE is lightyears ahead of everything else on the Linux desktop.

>>950387 (OP)

>Ubuntu

>minimal

There are not minimal desktop oriented distros anymore because gtk3 is shit.

Enjoying Kubuntu 18.04 LTS, using it at work, KDE is just fucking awesome, GNOME is shit

>>950826

I use LXDE daily, how is it broken?

>>950829

factually incorrect, and not an argument.
