thats really cool, thanks for sharing that. ill have to check out lubuntu as well as peppermint. other flavors im partial to are kali linux for penetration testing, and ubuntu server. those are the only ones i really have much experience with.
i like ubuntu because to be honest, im somewhat of a noob when it comes to terminal commands. i can find my way around usually after some research, but it's nice not to have to do any if i want to just use the GUI.
remembered this post after reading about lubuntu yesterday. definitely a great option if you are trying to get the most out of your hardware!
