Hi Neil! I highly recommend that you read the release-notes : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/FinalRelease/Xubuntu
I am myself a big fan of the lts releases which runs on basically all of my machines. However, I'm also a big fan of the terminal so my question is why it appears to be a bad thing to install software via terminal? apt is (in my point of view) the one and only package manager you'll ever need ;-) Next Point is that the first 16.04 lts release will be issued sometime in coming june. The current release are not LTS yet ( this is why 'apt-get dist-upgrade' doesn't show any available update yet in your 14.04 version. I didn't try the ne version yet but I'm looking forward to it when the official lts will be released. I'm sure it can't be THAT bad ;-) 2016-04-28 10:02 GMT+02:00 Neil Winchurst <[email protected]>: > I have just had a look at the new version of Xubuntu.
