LXLE is a Linux distribution based upon the most recent Ubuntu/Lubuntu LTS release, using the LXDE desktop environment.[2] LXLE is a lightweight distro, with a focus on visual aesthetics,[1] that works well on both old and new hardware.[3]

Reception

In a January 2014 review in Full Circle Magazine, Gabriele Tettamanzi noted that LXLE has some minor localization issues but otherwise described it as a nice "light and fast" desktop "rich" with software and "stable".[4]
