A light-weight Linux distribution a Linux distribution that uses lower memory and processor-speed requirements than a more "feature-rich" Linux distribution. The lower demands on hardware ideally result in a more responsive machine , and allow devices with fewer system resources (e.g. older or embedded hardware ) to be used productively.
Lubuntu (/ l ʊ ˈ b ʊ n t uː / luu-BUUN-too) [1] is a lightweight Linux distribution based on Ubuntu that uses the LXQt desktop environment in place of GNOME.Lubuntu was originally touted as being "lighter, less resource hungry and more energy-efficient", but now aims to be "a functional yet modular distribution focused on getting out of the way and letting users use their computer".
Xfce or XFCE (pronounced as four individual letters) is a free and open-source desktop environment for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. [3]Xfce aims to be fast and lightweight while still visually appealing and easy to use.
Linux Lite is a Linux distribution based on Ubuntu LTS [5] created by a team of programmers led by Jerry Bezencon. [6] Created in 2012, it uses a customized implementation of Xfce as its desktop environment, and runs on the main Linux kernel .
antiX (/ ˈ æ n t ɪ k s /) is a Linux distribution, originally based on MEPIS, which itself is based on the Debian stable distribution. [3] antiX initially replaced the MEPIS KDE desktop environment with the Fluxbox and IceWM window managers, making it suitable for older, less powerful x86-based systems.
[3] [4] UKUI is a fork of the MATE Desktop Environment. [5] [6] UKUI is a lightweight desktop environment, which consumes few resources and works with older computers. It has been developed with GTK and Qt technologies. Its visual appearance is similar to Windows 7, making it easier for new users of Linux. [7]
LXDE (abbreviation for Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment) was a free desktop environment with comparatively low resource requirements. This makes it especially suitable for use on older or resource-constrained personal computers [2] such as netbooks or system on a chip computers.
A desktop environment is a collection of software designed to give functionality and a certain look and feel to an operating system.. This article applies to operating systems which are capable of running the X Window System, mostly Unix and Unix-like operating systems such as Linux, Minix, illumos, Solaris, AIX, FreeBSD and Mac OS X.
