I have recently switched to XUbuntu. I tried it a number of times over the past few years but never thought much of it, however, since the 13.10 release it absolutely rocks! This is a screenshot of my desktop:
The whole GNOME 3 and Unity debacle had me searching for a decent desktop replacement and I was stuck with Ubuntu 11.04 which ran out of support long ago.. XUbuntu is definitely the desktop distro for me.
I run Xubuntu on my netbook and desktop. I just randomly went with it some day and really like it. I'm not exactly a "power user" and haven't customized a ton. It does most things the way I want them to be :)
Yeah, I switched to that too. It's by developers, for developers. I feel that Ubuntu is kind of chasing taillights with this whole mobile business, but maybe they'll prove me wrong.
This is a reply to user 'Of_Prometheus' - you have been hell banned and your comments are invisible to the vast majority of HN readers.
What is slightly worrying about this is that Of_Prometheus does not appear to be a troll of any type. He or she has been posting well-written and almost completely benign comments for nearly two years, and nothing in them seems to warrant the ban.
