I started my Linux journey about 12 years ago by using Ubuntu and used Ubuntu for quite a while until I came across a variant called Xubuntu and I immediately fell for this distro. I have created many awesome moments with Xubuntu it gets out of my way and lets me get all my everyday tasks done and done right. I follow Xubuntu and some of its team members just so I can keep up to date with all that is new and upcoming. I run a computer business and I always recommend Xubuntu to all of my customers no matter if they have super extreme hardware, I always tell them that it is the operating system that just lets you get things done. | I started my Linux journey about 12 years ago by using Ubuntu and used Ubuntu for quite a while until I came across a variant called Xubuntu and I immediately fell for this distro.

+ | |||
+ | We run a small business, mainly doing computer service and maintenance, | ||
+ | |||
+ | It was a choice we have never regretted, as it has always fit our needs perfectly. We can get everything from design to workflow just as we want it, and it is stable as rock while still often introducing new features for us to play with. | ||
+ | |||
+ | One of our best experiences was with a person who wanted an interface on a laptop that was just as simple and scaled down as that of an iPad, while still being able to do all things a computer ought to do. This was not an especially computer-savvy person, so it needed to be straightforward and simple. We managed to discard most classic desktop parameters and build a very unique interface, all within what was provided by stock Xubuntu. (Though we did some art ourselves.) | ||
+ | It turned out great, our customer was very happy with it and other people have shown interest in having something similar on their computers. Needless to say, this was a success story for us which had not been possible without Xubuntu. | ||
+ | |||
+ | So thanks for all your hard work! We keep on designing our users desktops and will continue to use the excellent Xubuntu for it. :) | ||
