Lubuntu 11.10 Review: You Don't Have To Quit Ubuntu
|

Lubuntu is what it is intended to be: a light weight Ubuntu-based OS. While Lubuntu is targeted at low-powered devices, such as netbooks, I found Unity to be more appropriate on devices with smaller screens. Global Menu gives more space to work. At the same time Unity + Global Menu is a recipe for disaster on Desktops – making Lubuntu more appropriate for main Desktops and laptops.

Lubuntu can be a perfect choice for those who are not comfortable with Ubuntu's Unity or Gnome 3 Shell. In my opinion there is no need to fork Gnome 2 and invest resources on it when we already have XFCE and LXDE. Investing resources in LXDE and XFCE may make more sense as it will help polish these two DEs instead of keeping alive a dying horse called Gnome 2.
