After 26 years using Slackware -- which is hardly compatible with my 3 recently bought nano-PCs -- I have tried more than twenty distros, choosing at last Kubuntu for my NAS-home-server and Lubuntu for my 2 working microcomputers. Is Lubuntu a lightweight distro mainly reserved for old PCs and outdated hardware? My 3 PCs have all been made in 2023/24 with a lot of RAM and external USB disks (purchased separately, of course), thus being very powerful and modern tools. Admittedly, I dislike desktops and most of the time I first open Konsoles (12 at the same time) and run a number of apps such as Vivaldi browser, Okular, Adobe Reader (via the maligned snapd), DOSEMU (not, God forbid, the disastrous DOSEMU2), VirtualBox (with several Windows virtualizations), Midnight Commander, Gwenview, and so on. No scarcity of apps. Just search for them and sudo install them. For me, Lubuntu is a real blessing. As for other distros, they may be quite good, even perhaps better, but for whatever reason (or for lack of skill on my part), they have turned out to be less fit for my purposes and needs. Anyway, I feel comfortable enough with Lubuntu with no hankering after the best distro in the world (if it exists).

The thing that I could not understand is why my pc with intel uhd 630 graphics is not detected correctly across all ubuntu based distros. Mint is the only distro that allows my pc to display 2 resolutions among the top 10. And bunsenlab is another one that works even just from live usb install

Maybe it’s my machine but found Budgie to be a bit buggy — many of the menu links and call to action buttons are just not doing anything… New machine too w Intel 7i…
