Here is a memory comparison from phoronix: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=articleitem=linux_desktop_vitalsnum=1 On Ubuntu 10.04 LXDE uses 30MB less than XFCE. I don't know the current difference, but 30MB is not a trivial amount on the AC100. Is it feasible to include both? XFCE and LXDE

no, canonical doesnt support 2D desktops at all anymore, unity-2d was discontinued upstream in precise already, all further development is done on unity 3D. in quantal the unity-2d code was completely removed Thanks for the answer, but what a mistake !!! Unity-2D is far better than the 3D one,

It's a joke ? Did Canonical develop Unity 2D to have (a poor/old/ugly) LXDE as default 2D desktop ?? Really a bad move, should be reverted. Best regards Florent On Sat, Aug 25, 2012 at 2:55 PM, Oliver Grawert o...@ubuntu.com wrote: hi, as some might have noticed, ubuntu dropped the support
