Lubuntu 16.04 on it with the pale moon browser how to#

Lubuntu hasn't supported LXDE since 2021-April with LXDE packages in 18.10 & later pure Debian (do note: Debian/LXDE uses xfwm4 and not openbox, with openbox still a Lubuntu package as we use it with LXQt).

The project’s goal is to provide a lightweight yet functional distribution. I still use devices with 1GB of RAM, but I use those devices very differently than I would the machine where I'm replying here which has 8GB of RAM. Lubuntu is an official Ubuntu flavor based on the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment (LXDE).

More important in my view though as to resources is how to machine is used. If you are on 18.04 or below and would like to upgrade, please do a fresh install.įYI: I used devices with only 1GB of RAM in QA-testing ( Quality Assurance testing) of Lubuntu in releases up to Lubuntu 19.04, but with the dropping of i386 that made little sense so later releases were all tested with 2GB of more of RAM. Note, due to the extensive changes required for the shift in desktop environments, the Lubuntu team does not support upgrading from 18.04 or below to any greater release. Upgrades beyond that are not supported, as you'll have noted in, ie. Lubuntu 16.04 LTS had two upgrade paths :-ġ6.04 -> 16.10 or the next release that was gone after 16.10 reached EOL.ġ6.04 -> 18.04 which may still be possible as long as your system is fully-upgraded ( which may require ESM to be enabled on your 16.04 box it'll depend where you are in the world as to whether or not your outdated/expired certificates are a problem)Įither way Lubuntu 18.04 LTS is the end of the road for Lubuntu and LXDE.
