Approved by the FSF. RMS himself uses it. What's not to like?

It's Ubuntu-based, isn't it?

It's Ubuntu-based, isn't it? It is, but it's stripped for proprietary software, and focuses big on being fully Libre. |

Well of course.  It doesn't come with that awful Unity, does it? |

No, it doesn't It comes with Gnome 3.8.4, but it looks more like Gnome 2.

Good. I've seen screenshots of it, and it doesn't look too bad. I prefer Xfce, though.  Can you get it with any other DE? |

You can get it with LXDE.

Hmmm. I haven't used that in awhile.

LXDE is a nice desktop interface.

If I had another machine, I'd try it. I don't like dual-booting or using VMs.

I use tons of VMs. It's my source to test things out.

I don't have enough RAM on my laptop for that. Under normal load, I'm usually using 70%-75% of my RAM.  |

How much RAM do you have?

Not much at all, unfortunately. My desktop machine has 8GB, but I rarely use it for anything.

Maybe it's time for you to remote into your desktop, and use it more. |

Or sell it and get a better laptop. |
