It has a lot of running services behind courtains. They are there for launching proprietary snaps from Ubuntu. Its just a reskin of Ubuntu and those multiple, heavy services slow down computer. Browsers are huge. With this proprietary snaps Firefox (decompressed to run) is 3.6 Gigabyte huge. Its slow. Preloading it at startup doesn't change anything. Lots of software is snaps and is heavy and requires these services to run in the background. Its XFCE, so by definition its jerky breaks fluidness because of the abandoned Mutter. Desktop doesn't run with full FPS and sometimes hangs for no apparent reason. You will be better with Lubuntu (based on qt technology which with Kwin is fluent, just run it with X11, not wayland). As for XFCE the panel items are all out of place and too small and they don't scale, if you turn on panel icons scaling lots of things, like date/clock remains extremely small and other are too huge. This is a joke. It doesn't support AVIF photo encoding. Laptop gets extremely hot and loud as it uses a lot of CPU to decode videos. No GPU accelerattion anywhere. I'm out. Its a joke.

version 7.2 includes Google Chrome (closed source/proprietary):
- google-chrome-stable 130.0.6723.91-1
This is unacceptable. For old laptops it requires a few minutes to load, is NOT open source, and does NOT contribute in any way shape or form to being light.
It's nice to see 'net-tools' included, as many other distributions DON'T include it. But, it can always be added separately anyway so this doesn't mean too much.
I'm sorry I wasted my time even trying this distribution; don't waste yours!

DEUTSCH:
Das System funktioniert sehr gut auf auf einem OdysMybook Pro14 mit 50 GB SSD-Festplatte, 1,1GHz Intel Celeron N4120 CPU, 4 GB RAM. (Daß werksseitig darauf Windows 11(!) vorinstalliert war, ist von den verbauten Komponenten und der Leistung her gesehen ein Witz.)
Das einzige Manko, das mir nach etwa einem halben Jahr Nutzung mit verschlüsselter Festplatte und ressourcenhungrigen Programmen (Gimp, Kdenlive, TeXlive) aufgefallen ist, betrifft den ziemlich langsamen Start (fast eine Minute), der sich auch durch Verändern von Autostartoptionen nicht wesentlich beschleunigen ließ.
Ein weiteres Problem, das aber alle XFCE-Desktops haben, ist in gelegentliche Verschwinden der Netzwerkanzeige aus der Leiste.
Ansonsten arbeitet das Betriebssystem unauffällig und mit erstaunlich guter Akkulaufzeit unauffällig vor sich hin.
Kann man für schwachbrüstige Laptops, Netbooks, Altgeräte gut nutzen.
ENGLISH:
The system works very well on an OdysMybook Pro14 with 50 GB SSD hard drive, 1.1 GHz Intel Celeron N4120 CPU, 4 GB RAM. (The fact that Windows 11(!) was pre-installed on it at the factory is a joke considering the components used and the performance.)
The only drawback that I noticed after about half a year of use with an encrypted hard drive and resource-hungry programs (Gimp, Kdenlive, TeXlive) is the rather slow start (almost a minute), which could not be significantly accelerated even by changing the autostart options.
Another problem that all XFCE desktops have is the occasional disappearance of the network display from the bar.
Otherwise, the operating system works inconspicuously and with surprisingly good battery life.
Can be used well for weak laptops, netbooks, and older devices.
