Xubuntu LTS (vs) Linux Mint LTS
Post by Interest » Wed Apr 16, 2014 7:35 pm
The unthinkable has happened to me, my laptop hardware has finally peaked its limitations, well, according to 99% of all driver / OS developers anyway.
It was running Windows XP and had been for a whopping 9 epic years with very minimum hick-ups, so I have been extremely pleased with it, but with the trashing of XP I was forced to upgrade to Windows 7 Starter / Basic (to keep resources down.) Well, dispute my best efforts, it absolutely sucks. Especially due to the fact that no drivers for my on built Intel GPU exist for vista/7/8 so I’m forced to use another driver which crashes and lag’s most of the time.
My laptop uses a non-PAE CPU, which means Windows 7 was the last OS I could upgrade to in the Windows family. And as you can see, that has not gone so well.
So, for the last 2 weeks I have been pulling me hair out trying to figure out Linux in general as it took me around 2 weeks to clock the fact that 90% of all known distro’s where based on Ubuntu, which means none of them worked on my laptop due to Ubuntu needing a PAE CPU. so much for that one then.
Anyways, after almost given up I figured out that the LTS versions of a few distros where using Ubuntu that did not require PAE (12.04 I believe) which means I’m good to use either one of these. Now I have boiled it down to Xubuntu LTS and Mint LTS xfce in terms of «lightweight» usability and my question is:
Out of the two OS’s, which one is faster and more lightweight to use? I have both running on a Live USB and to be honest, I ‘think’ Xubuntu seems to win here, but what I really want to know is, if I had either one permanently installed, which one over the next few years would stay the fastest? In terms of bloat, etc.
Oh, for the record, I have tried Puppy Linux and it is the fastest I agree, however I just can’t stand the Windows 3.1 theme it has going for itself, haha!
