Linux Distributions

Lubuntu – lightweight Linux distribution based on Ubuntu

Lubuntu is a complete Operating System that ships the essential apps and services for daily use: office applications, PDF reader, image editor, music and video players, and mich more. The distro is built with a rock-solid Ubuntu base.

The distro combines the Arc theme and the Papirus icons to make the Lubuntu desktop easier to read and less cluttered. The symbolic icons and glyphs, now easier to recognise, added to sharp edges and vibrant colours, add visual dynamics without overwhelming the overall design.

Lubuntu is offered in many ISOs for several computers, like standard PC, laptops, Raspberry Pi, etc.

What's a Linux distribution ("distro")?

A distro provides the user with a desktop environment, preloaded applications, and ways to update and maintain the system.

Each distro makes different choices, deciding which open source projects to install and provides custom written programs. They can have different philosophies.

Some distros are intended for desktop computers, some for servers without a graphical interface, and others for special uses. Because Linux is an open source operating system, combinations of software vary between Linux distros.

I’ve never liked the name, ‘Lubuntu’. As it’s pronounced {loo-BOON-too}, the first bit makes me think of a toilet aka a loo. I’m not sure what else they could name it though.
