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.
