#Xbuntu
So Today I installed MXLinux and Xbuntu on my old Dell Latitude e6440 with 8gb ram and 500gb SSD.
I wrote a new blog entry to follow if anyone would like this setup for themselves

@pw8.uk If we ever meet, I owe you beer. Thought I have gone mental when Xbuntu VMs started crashing. Thanks for the write up.

LinuxMintで初描き
Xbuntuからの乗り換えだけど、軽くて扱いやすい。
Xbuntuもwindowsに比べればぜんぜん軽いんだけど、それよりも軽いなって思う。
ペンタブの設定も楽。マルチモニタ時のターゲットモニタの設定の話。
もっとも、それはcinammonだったからだけど。KDEやGNOMEにはターゲットモニタを設定できる項目があることは知っていたけど、cinammonにもそれがあって、助かった。
xfceのときは、最初は結構苦労した。
Xfceにも、この設定がついていてほしかった。これからつけてくれてもいい。

I'd second Mint or xBuntu as an intro - though I'd go for XFCE as desktop due to its visual similarity to good old W98/2k/XP and it being lightweight.
I personally don't like Ubuntu but it's OK as entry.
Arch/Gentoo is a "i've got too much free time on my hands"-system.

I want to build it as a Linux machine which runs LLMs locally.

In preparation I have a checklist and suitable USB sticks (Xbuntu, PopOS and Sparky Linux (my preference)).

But first, everything needs to be backed up.
I can confirm that the packing is good and sensible.

Once the #Lenovo LOQ is out of the box you spot the nice touches like the cloth between the keyboard and the screen, along with a note on support.

Missing the juicy bit of the linked mailing list: The immediate proposal to add this functionality to D-Bus, thereby opening the door on all distros.
So even trashing xBuntu would not necessarily save one from that overreach.
+ other distros get extra work to do to implement the iface or a stub.🤦‍♂️

If interested: Get old donor laptops and install Linux on them (i like Mint, but Xbuntu is great on really old machines). Each laptop is its own problem (but minor so you solve it).

Then, give them to people in need of a decent machine.

But, yeah, once I stopped using dial up....

Ese no lo conosco, pero el menu es variado (hay +de 400 disponibles), y en general la calidad promedio es muy buena.
En este momento tengo varios instalados en mi maquina de escritorio : Q4 , Xbuntu, Linux lite,XP Black Elegant y Phoenix y he provado varios otros mas (Unos veinte creo 🤔),

Xfce 4.20 出了

在「XFCE 4.20 Released (alexxcons.github.io)」這邊突然看到 Xfce 4.20 出了的消息:「Xfce 4.20 released」。

我很久前是用 Ubuntu Unity,但自從用了 Xbuntu (Ubuntu + Xfce) 後就沒回去了,但忘記當初跳的理由了...

過一陣子 PPA 上應該就會有了 (Xubuntu

I take laptop donations for my students. They take apart the dead machines (to learn how they work; cannibalize) and we load Linux Mint on the ones that will boot up.

Mint, Xbuntu will revive a machine over a decade old, and a kid goes home able to access in the internet (and play Minecraft). Free

んー、今度3連休以上の休みが取れたら PCを xbuntu 26.04に OS入れ替えしたいなー。
July 4, 2026 at 1:16 PM
あー、xbuntu 26を仮想マシンに入れてみるか
July 3, 2026 at 12:27 PM
So here's the flash BIOS, but it's best to go to the second screen to adjust things.

Playing around I managed to get Sparky to partially boot, Xbuntu come straight up, the safe graphics doesn't, #PopOS causes the machine to complain about "no shim"

Secure boot is obviously the issue

Still happy 😁

隙間時間にXbuntuをインストールした。タッチパネルは何もしなくても反応した。スクリーンキーボードはこれからだが,先例があるので,それほど苦労せずとも済みそうだ。[ARROWS Tab Q506/MEをXubuntu化|なまこマンの毎日ゲーム宣言 https://namakoman.hatenablog.jp/entry/arrowstab_xubuntu ] ただ,やはり予想通り Xubuntu を以てしても快速とはいかないね。スゴイ非力マシンだからなあ。

むろん例によって非常に非力な機なので,ubuntu の中でも軽量なバリエーションの Xbuntu を入れてみたい。これは本家 ubuntu が,デスクトップ環境に ともすれば重い GNOME を使っているに対して,Xfce という軽量軽快で知られたものを採用している。
とりま今は下調べの段階だが,うまくいけば とても気軽な日常使いの軽量端末になるだろう。なかなか楽しそうである。

ありがとうございます
Linux mintも候補には入れていたもののそれを聞くと
もう一つの選択肢として置いていたxbuntuをと丁度思っていたので助かります!!

ubuntu系の普及率に驚きましたがそれだけしっかり不具合の修正やセキュリティ対策もしてあると聞いて安心しました。

I like Linux Mint. It's like Windows, which I grew up with, but not blue.

For a bit, I used Xbuntu because it was light. But the wrong distro is horrible--I hated Gallium.

I use Linux Mint. It looks the most like Windows and it light.

For years I used Xbuntu as it was lightweight and worked well on really old machines, but it had quirks and Mint does the job. I tried Gallium when I played with Chromebooks but it would not behave (keyboard issues).

Winからlinaxに乗り換え検討中
種類ありすぎていっぱい調べてる
mintちゃんかわいいけどxbuntuが安定してそう
July 30, 2025 at 10:25 AM
I dont have 4 giga ram min, the video and some software will be so slow, no thanks, that why Xbuntu or lubuntu also free can support my pc. I prefer to have windows beside coz some game cannot be in linux.

xbuntuは自由過ぎて色々消してしまった
消してmanjaroにしたが再起動の度ブラックアウトして
入れ直す羽目に...。

Nice, indicators for XFCE <a href="http://bit.ly/h46T2G." class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-link="bsky">http://bit.ly/h46T2G. Back to Xbuntu then :)
