Not What it Used to Be
Robin ArnaudApril 22, 2015
Pros
Easy to Install Fast, even on modest hardware
Cons
Refuses to shut down / reboot when needed Easily and frequently borked by updates Pulseaudio - really? Still troublesome after all this time Who uses Abiword and Gnumeric on any 64-bit computer? LibreOffice should be the default office application.
Summary
Xubuntu was wonderful back in the day, and perhaps the 32-bit version still is. But the 64-bit version is buggy, stubborn, and balks at shutdown and reboot. Frequently borked by updates. No 64-bit computer ever made needs such limited software as Abiword and Gnumeric anymore. They're fine for old relics like my desktop, but LibreOffice should be the default on the 64-bit version in my opinion. I waited until it was a year old to try it, hoping the bugs would be worked out by now, but it's as troublesome on my laptop as a Beta release. This is unworthy of an LTS release, and unworthy of Xubuntu's sterling reputation for excellence (until now)! The Xfce desktop is wonderful, simple, fast, and beautiful. Infinitely configurable and easy to use. Nicely configured by the Xubuntu team as usual.
