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
do you have any specific packages that you miss the more recent versions of? because newer just for the sake of chasing recency drove me away from stability too many times and now i enjoy my mint repos. if i really need something in a newer version i can just go to the github page and install it manually.
