Hi.
I heard in a YT video recently that Canonical will no longer fund Kubuntu.
But they will continue to give structural/framework support. Does the same apply to Lubuntu, Xubuntu, etc? What does this exactly mean? Will there be more bugs and other downfalls in the derivatives?
The flexibility of Ubuntu (and Linux in general) means that it not very difficult to create derivatives from it – and there a number of derivatives. Ubuntu derivatives could be created for a specific function or created with different desktop environment. To receive support from Canonical, though, the derivative has to be officially recognized by them.Lubuntu is one such derivative.
In addition to Ubuntu, Canonical also produces or recognizes a number of Ubuntu derivatives such Kubuntu and Edubuntu. These derivatives offer different desktop environments or a more focused selection of software, geared toward a particular purpose.
I have been using Ubuntu for a few years, but aside from a little bit of playing around it's pretty much the only Linux based OS I have used. To my understanding, Xubuntu, Kubuntu, and Lubuntu are just Ubuntu with different desktop environments and default applications. The Lubuntu page on the Ubuntu wiki specifically says that, and that it shares Ubuntu's repositories.

What is the difference between Ubuntu and its derivatives?
There are linux OSs having name Ubuntu , Kubuntu , Edubuntu , Lubuntu . In their respective web sites they mention that this release is related to the standard ubuntu release. What are the main differences between these OSs rather than softwares integrated in each packages.
I've been trying for the last 6 years to find a ubuntu version that did not break when doing updates. I recently tried xubuntu. If I move a window, browser or terminal, it logs me out of the session. So, I tried Kubuntu. It does the same thing. But only these two ubuntu derivatives.
I have xubuntu installed on Asus g75. Has anyone reported this behavior? Any ideas on how to fix?
thanks
