Slim down Xubuntu sessions

This page is to discuss and list ideas for this specification. For Karmic, it is planned to make Xubuntu lighter by choosing applications which use less resources.

Suggested Applications

  • Claws Mail to replace Mozilla Thunderbird
  • VLC to replace Totem (however, it maybe important to consider that VLC uses qt4.)
  • Xfce Power Manager to replace Gnome Power Manager
  • Xfce Task Manager to replace Gnome System Monitor
  • Xfce-notifyd to replace Notification Daemon
  • Xfburn to replace Brasero
  • Midori installed by default, I would not recommend replacing it with Firefox. Midori does not have all the features as Firefox and is very buggy (crashes when loading certain webpages, open/closing tabs).
