best for: Anyone looking to breathe new life into an old PC or just prefer a lightning-fast desktop.
If you’re looking for speed, Lubuntu may be the way to go. Lubuntu offers the LXQt desktop, which is lightweight and performs exceptionally well on old and new hardware. Like Kubuntu, Lubuntu offers all the usual desktop trimmings – a panel, start menu, clickable icons, system tray… almost everything you’re accustomed to. The biggest (aesthetic) difference is that Lubuntu will make you feel like you’ve reached back to the early days of Windows 7 with minimal impact and maximum usability.

However, ultimately, Lubuntu is all about speed. This desktop is fast, making it perfect for breathing new life into your old PC. So, if you have a spare PC lying around (that will no longer support the latest versions of Windows), Lubuntu might be the ideal choice.
