Xubuntu Logo

Xubuntu is a Linux distribution based on Ubuntu and the lightweight XFCE desktop environment.

Quoting Wikipedia:

The Xfce desktop environment is intended to use fewer system resources than the default Ubuntu Unity desktop. As recently as September 2010 the Xubuntu developers claimed that the minimum RAM Xubuntu could be run on was 128 MB, with 256 MB of RAM strongly recommended at that time.

I have an Xubuntu 17.10 machine and can't get DVDs to autoplay. I gave up on Parole as a player: it won't auto-install the codecs it needs and installing all I thought I needed manually didn't help. So, I installed VLC and it will play DVDs, but I'm…

How to make an usb-stick to format a computer?

In xubuntu, how can I make a usb-stick that formats my second computer's hard-disk? It looks like the hard disk is some how messed, and I think it might be easiest to reinstall everything. UEFI seems to work fine.
