Actually for the supported releases trusty (EOL April 2019) and xenial (EOL April 2021) Ubuntu GNOME is a flavour, for those releases Ubuntu still ships with Unity. Apart from this such polls exclude the majority or minority (we don't know) of Ubuntu users who don't stay with a default of any flavour. I installed from the server image and unchecked as much of it's default packages as possible and after that installed what I want, btw. no DE at all, plain openbox, but with e.g. lxpanel (+ fbpanel). What's meaningful with an "informal, fun poll", let alone that this poll is at least not announced at Ubuntu Studio users, Kubuntu users, Xubuntu users, Ubuntu users and perhaps other *buntu users lists, too. -- Lubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
