In regards to going lighter with Lubuntu, we must remember our key targets
and goal. I switched my GTK and Openbox themes to dark themes and it added
another 40 minutes to my netbook's battery when on full brightness, over an
hour with minimal brightness. I took every step to ensure that it was
You're right. Dark themes are battery savers, but if they're too dark it
cause fuzzy eyes. Too much light cause eye fatigue. That's why the Oneiric
wall is not as light as older ones, but still light blue.
And there're lots of reasons to be blue. First is corporative. Second is
usability and
Besides, green would look like Mint LXDE. I think black is a good thing, but
that's me.

Yes, it's a bit tricky. Look at this:

They're called derivatives, not flavours, so they look like mutations
from the original.
With OpenSuse it's easier:

But there're Lubuntu users on Pentium II and similar machines. In fact
they're happy an OS can handle those trashy computers and make them
useable.
Will this affect those users?

I think this harks back to how long we will support 10.04 for, we barely
have enough people to backport to that - asking for a 2nd set of
backporting may well be beyond the small number of devs we have. For me,
with dropping of chipsets after 10.04, maybe we could concentrate on
keeping 10.04
I just took hours and cleaned up the bug tracker of pcmanfm and did some
triage for all of the opened bugs today.
Here are the remaining ones I'm going to fix for 1.0 release.
Last year they dropped support for a lot of machines, now they will drop
for a lot more?
What are the exact benefits of dropping all of that?
Lubuntu is aimed to be fast, but it's able to resurrect those old hardware
so: what will be the the future for those old machines in the near future?

*If* this proposed change makes it impractical to run on a Pentium II,

There comes a point where hardware becomes obsolete. Ubuntu itself is not
aiming to be for low end machines and for a desktop is that is trying to
hit the more cutting edge market last decades equipment is a waste of

I guess the point ends up simply being lxde Ubuntu.
That is fine for a guy like myself because Lubuntu is awsome on my modern

bad for you guys.
Maybe official status isn't what's best for Lubuntu OR maybe you guys
Has anyone read the posts from the developers here? Julien asked for
comment, Jonathan did some research and found that only Pentium I and
a limited number of Pentium II mobiles and a sprinkling of even less
other types of CPUs would be affected. I'm not certain but to me even
