Since we are talking about the Strategy Document, please let me remind that performance is still one of our focuses. Just not in the same way than before. In my opinion, the ultimate question about any new feature or inclusion is if it's worth using the extra system resources for that. And tha

I stopped to use Ubuntu because of Unity although it was presented as a more intuitive way to use a computer : it is worth for me. Kubuntu is too big and has a lot of "bloatwares". I would like to still have an easy to use distro. For example, a window list bar offers less cognitive effort. It

I think that the added value of HUD its the road that Xubuntu wants to take, we have already decided that we are not a linux distribution targeted to older or low resources computers, if our system works there then excellent, but it should not be our commanding goal. In that aspect HUD brings a who

Hello, What is the additional load of HUD ? I mean HUD has a lot of magic... which needs processing resources. I my case, I just want something which works. I known which tool to use when I need to perform an action. I appreciate automatic tiling of windows, etc because it is something painfu

Hi, I'm new here but I've been using Xubuntu since Unity. Anyway, I can agree with all the points above except Leafpad. Why does it have to be Leafpad? I know gedit is gnome but why not something as powerful as that? - J On Mon, Apr 22, 2013 at 12:43 PM, Jackson Doak wrote: > that's certainly
