I have just installed Xubuntu 23.04 (minimal edition) and removed the snaps. I forgot how fast and nice Xfce actually is. I really like using it, coming from a window manager and Arch. The only downside that I found is the Ubuntu repos; yes, they have most stuff but they’re just old (even on 23.04). I hope I won’t feel the need to distro-hop anymore. I just wanted to share my positive experience with yall because I don’t think Xubuntu gets any attention. :D
ahh thanks, i was wondering just how “minimal” minimal was. i was expecting something like endeavour - a configured OS but around 1500 packages. so i really appreciate that warning haha. ok better start making my list.
