Table Notes and Explanations

(Please refer to the table below.)
  • Select view:
  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

A couple of days ago, I wrote a review, pointing to my inability to install Xubuntu 24.04.
Yesterday, I decided to give it another go, this time starting it via the 'Grub2' option. To my surprise, the 'Install Xubuntu' option appeared on the desktop, just as it should have. From that moment on, the installation run very smoothly, albeit slightly longer than the previous versions of Xubuntu.
Alter the installation I encountered a slight problem with installing Chrome, as it wouldn't start. However, that was solved with a simple reboot of the system.
So far, what can I say about the 24.04 Xubuntu?

A definite improvement with regard to handling of the Bluetooth connection. With the previous version (and that affected every flavour of Ubuntu), the Bluetooth headphones would simply disconnect with a notification 'No Bluetooth Adapters Available'.
This bug seems to have been solved, which is a big improvement. The connection breaks from time to time, but usually quickly reconnects.

The Thunar file manager still cannot click and drag multiple files, so I replaced it with PCManFM which works perfectly fine.

As for the additional drivers, no extra Wi-Fi driver available any longer. At first, I thought the Xubuntu team decided to ship it by default, but this isn't the case. Even 'dkms' isn't installed by default, so you have to install it separately, just as the 'git' as well.

What I also noticed, TPLink Wi-Fi adapter (which I use) doesn't flash its light any longer when installed, which might be a blessing to those who are annoyed by flashing diodes or a disappointment to those who rely on the indicator.

As I mentioned before, it works when started with Grub2. It doesn't affect me, as Xubuntu is the only system I use on this laptop. However, as far as I'm concerned, Grub2 will not allow the dual boot with Windows or any other system that is not a Linux distribution that supports Grub2.
So, bear that in mind.
Still, I like Xubuntu and XFCE and wouldn't change it for anything else.

Xubuntu 24.04 turned out to be a bit of a disaster when I tried to install it on my HP laptop 15seq 1xxx series. File downloaded from the University of Kent (UK) Mirror.
The file took forever to be put on Ventoy, eventually I had to switch the computer off, because Ventoy got stuck. Anyway, after a restart to my surprise Xubuntu booted, albeit straight to the desktop, not like previous versions when you had an option to try Xubuntu or to install it.
I set up the Wi-Fi connection, and decided to install the system. Io my amazement, there was no Install Xubuntu option on the desktop. I search for it in the menu and found 'Install RELEASE'. I pressed it and was greeted with an installation menu to choose: language, keyboard, etc. After that, I confirmed my choices and the Installer simply disappeared.
So I tried again. The second time, the Installer disappeared just after I picked the keyboard layout.
I thought I'd downloaded a faulty file, (I'm still going to try other mirrors), but from comments here, I understand I'm not alone.
I don't want to down-rate it or anything, it just would be nice if those issues were seen to by the team, please! Otherwise, I find XFCE and Ubuntu to be very useful software.

Very impressed with Xubuntu Minimal 22.04.

The only Snap application included is snapd itself, so if you want to disable snap, it's very easy. The applications included are indeed minimal, so it's a blank slate for your own choices - including avoiding the Gnome apps with libadwaita that stick out like a sore thumb.

Very stable - no crashes or freezes so far. The laptop I've installed it is 11 years old, with an Intel Ivy Bridge processor, but everything runs smoothly.

By default there's a 24 pixel panel at the top. I added the Xubuntu Extras PPA which has xfce4-docklike-plugin. So I've added another panel at the bottom which functions as a very capable dock. Also added the Papirus icons which go very well with the default Greybird theme.
