Somerville stepped down as the project leader and made a call for nominations to help find a successor. The LXDE desktop uses the Openbox window manager and, like Xubuntu, is intended to be a low-system-requirement, low-RAM environment for netbooks, mobile devices and older PCs and will compete with Xubuntu in that niche. In February 2009 Mark Shuttleworth agreed that an official LXDE version of Ubuntu, Lubuntu, would be developed. This document was approved by the Ubuntu Community Council in 2008. Somerville developed a comprehensive strategy for the Xubuntu project named the Xubuntu Strategy Document. The first official Xubuntu release, led by Jani Monoses, appeared on 1 June 2006, as part of the Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake line, which also included Kubuntu and Edubuntu.Ĭody A.W. Instead the Xubuntu name was used for the xubuntu-desktop metapackage available through the Synaptic Package Manager which installed the Xfce desktop. Xubuntu was originally intended to be released at the same time as Ubuntu 5.10 Breezy Badger, 13 October 2005, but the work was not complete by that date. Rather than explicitly targeting low-powered machines, it attempts to provide "extra responsiveness and speed" on existing hardware. Xubuntu is intended for both new and experienced Linux users. Xubuntu seeks to provide "a light, stable and configurable desktop environment with conservative workflows" using Xfce components. The name Xubuntu is a portmanteau of Xfce and Ubuntu, as it uses the Xfce desktop environment, instead of Ubuntu's GNOME desktop. Xubuntu ( / z ʊ ˈ b ʊ n t uː/) is a Canonical Ltd.–recognized, community-maintained derivative of the Ubuntu operating system.
