From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Use brioche, it holds up better in the custard…
Real maple syrup. Accept no substitutes.
A dash of nutmeg.
Also don't forget to add some glue.
That's genius! I hate when the nutmeg falls off my French toast. Using nontoxic glue to hold it down would be perfectly safe and there would be zero negative consequences
Can you calm down a bit?
who made you the fun police
Linux Mint XFCE and Xubuntu should be very similar.
That said, I'd go with Mint because of their focus on usability instead of enshittification.
I love to see the enthusiasm hell yeah!! I do have one question though, you say you’re excited because it looks like gnome, do you have a reason you don’t want to switch to a distro using full gnome?
well, because my laptop is a toshiba satellite, so that means that using a distro with gnome would completely destroy my laptop's ram and etc, that's why i like something lighter yet beginner/user friendly
will it go faster than xubuntu?
well IME when you reinstall it will usually go faster at first no matter what because you don't have a lot of crap running to slow it down. but idk if it'll go inherently faster.
because it doesn't use any snap applications?
It's been a while since I used xubuntu but are you required to use Snaps? Someone might correct me but it seems like you could just refrain from using them, no? I've never used snaps anywhere.
I believe on both xubuntu and Mint you can install software via Synaptic package manager.
will it have a modern ui?
it has XFCE4 as the desktop environment. Xubuntu also runs XFCE4 (that's what the "x" stands for). They will have essentially the same UI. Any differences will just be in the theming, which you could just change the themes yourself without going to the trouble of reinstalling.
I personally like the retro feel of XFCE4. If you want something more "modern" you might like to try KDE. You can install that with Synaptic package manager on either xubuntu or Mint.
what will be the pros be for using linux mint xfce please?? over xubuntu
From my understanding, Mint is a bit better on the Libre side of things and is less likely to introduce proprietary stuff into your system.
My feeling is that they are substantially the same as each other.
Always make backups before making any major changes. :)
I don't know how snaps work on the flavored ubuntus, but my gf was using ubuntu and it would install snaps for some apps even when using apt. It's pretty annoying, if you ask me.
i will always make backups thanks, everything gets backed up of course!! thank you for the information
I wonder if you'd be more interested in one of the other Linux Mint flavors: Cinnamon or MATE. here is screenshots of all 3 to compare: https://www.linuxmint.com/screenshots.php
KDE doesn't come pre-loaded but you can install any DE on any distro. Here are KDE screenshots: https://kde.org/screenshots
Anyway have fun and good luck :)
You probably saw Cinnamon and want that. XFCE is the same whether you use it on Xubuntu or Mint.
