### "Ubuntu con Xfce" — 4.0/5

> **Almudena** | *4 March 2023* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Todas las ventajas de Ubuntu con un escritorio muy ligero como es Xfce, una opción ideal para esos ordenadores que se hacen viejos pero todavía podemos usar con una distribución como Xubuntu enfocada a ese tipo de equipos.Gratuito, muy sencillo de instalar, con un ritmo de actualizaciones muy bueno.
> 
> **Cons**: Pocas cosas malas se pueden decir de Xubtuntu... Tal vez que hay ciertas aplicaciones que no tienen versión para Linux, unicamente para MacOS y Windows, pero eso es más culpa de los desarrolladores que de la propia distribución.
> 
> Si tienes un ordenador antiguo que ya no va bien con Windows... tu solución es Xubuntu.Le puedes dar una segunda vida a esos equipos más antiguos con una distribución Linux muy ligera y basada en la conocidísima Ubuntu.
