There is only one use case where it beats Linux and that is FreeBSD with the Apache web server.īelow is my desktop with Firefox, PCManFm file manager, Task Manager, Gvim, and LXTerminal. People say that the BSD (Max OS X) network stack is faster, but it’s not. ![]() The whole thing runs significantly faster than OS X, especially network access. The LXDE UI, which has been heavily customized for Lubuntu, is simple, fast, and memory efficient (< 100 MB base memory usage) but also very nice looking (attached). I had to work around one problem with the graphics driver, but then it worked. None of the suggestions on the support site worked either. There is a problem with the graphics driver that prevents it from running X. Debian is doing the heavy lifting to create the core system that Ubuntu is based on.Īnyway, Debian did not work. Ubuntu mainly puts some polish on top of Debian to create Ubuntu. Most new Linux developments are sponsored by Red Hat and developed in Fedora, and then made available to the rest of the community. Ubuntu is not my favorite distribution because they don’t give back to the Linux community or cooperate with the rest of the community. There are others but I don’t consider them good options. The options now are Debian or Ubuntu (actually Lubuntu, the LXDE version of Ubuntu). But, Fedora dropped support for 32-bit PowerPC several years ago. I’ve been using Red Hat and then Fedora since 1993 before most people knew what Linux was.
