Re: [Lubuntu-qa] Target audience

Lubuntu is definitely lighter than Xubuntu. On my 64 bit desktop HTOP shows now memory usage data as follows: Lubuntu 15.04 (updated): 293 MB (LXDE) and 282 MB (in Open Box) Xubuntu L15.04 (updated): 383 MB (XFCE DE) and with LXQt 0.9 DE: 430 MB These are of course only ballpark figures immediatel

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] Target audience

Yeah, we will concentrate on "ease of use". I stopped kubuntu a long time ago. Did not fall under the current objective. However, the advanced user discussion will come later. On Mar 5, 2015 6:27 PM, "Walter Lapchynski" wrote: > Yeah well honestly, I think Lubuntu's approach to things is a LOT >

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] Target audience

Yeah well honestly, I think Lubuntu's approach to things is a LOT easier than Kubuntu. If you find something that doesn't just work in the GUI, it's kind of messy. I think all users should feel empowered enough to use the command line. The fact that they have control over their system is something

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] Target audience

I guess that "ease of use" is what is important. Getting things is accelerated because of the reduction in actually hacking the system. No need to pull your hair out, for the most part. At least now I have a better of what I am really dealing with. On Mar 5, 2015 5:30 PM, "Walter Lapchynski" wrote

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] Target audience

Well, I guess you need to ask Ubuntu about that. If we judge it by the original plans sabdfl suggested, the idea was to make Linux easy for people. It seems this is true. There's much less hackiness to get things done (for the most part), lots of configuration options, good integration, and let's n

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] Target audience

So lubuntu targets Ubuntu users who like the simplicity of operating a Linux OS but with lxde. Now I know the audience for lubuntu what about ubuntu in general? On Mar 5, 2015 2:26 PM, "Brendan Perrine" wrote: > On Thu, 05 Mar 2015 19:08:14 +0100 > Nio Wiklund wrote: > > > without [much] tweakin

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] Target audience

I only somewhat agree. We're not targeting non-Linux users, but that may be part of it. Either way, the focus is on being low resource while still being somewhat user friendly. Xubuntu is light compared to Ubuntu, but not Lubuntu. We are the light option that still includes a GUI and a suite of

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] Target audience

I help friends with Linux. lubuntu has 2 main features for me:- 1. A little more familiar for those people moving from Windows XP. 2. Works on really old computers. It keeps my NetBook running and also the computers of friends as well. -- -- ACCU - Professionalism in programming - http://www.ac

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] Target audience

Lubuntu has always been for low resource machines. Many of these will be converts of old traditional operating systems, so it's important to make them feel at home. Secondarily, it's for those that want a complete but low resource OS. @wxl Lubuntu Release Manager, Head of QA Ubuntu PPC Point of
