ubuntu desktop environtment

[rifqilubis]

So right now im using Kubuntu (KDE), but im seeing its using around 2gib ram. So i see someone have shown that their linux only using 400mb ram.

Is there linux distro that still supported, but have less ram usage fewer than 1gib ?

I just found out xubuntu and lubuntu.

which you guys recommends?

They both are good choices. Lubuntu is slightly lighter. I use Xubuntu and it shows to be using about 550mb of ram which is also light weight. Try & see whichever one you like the look & feel of.

I'm on Lubuntu since 18.10 (LXQt) and like it a lot. It's fast and easy to use. If I had to choose today, it'd be a toss-up between Lubuntu and Xubuntu.

There is also a very good sticky thread here on this forum at https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2415676 which has a lot of detail and some potentially useful information.

Lubuntu will be the lightest on desktop resources, unless you look outside and check out Bodhi Linux 7.0 which is still built on ubuntu 22.04.3 base.

i have a question regarding lubuntu, it runs all apps that debian support right?

and when i reinstall, my second harddrive (kubuntu). Do i need to reinstall AMD Driver?

All the applications that are available in Debian are generally also available in Ubuntu and all its flavours though not directly from Debian repos but using the default Ubuntu repos. You may even find that some things in Ubuntu's repos are not in Debian's but I have never bothered to check. I do run a virtual install of Debian Unstable just to keep abreast of how it is working (great so far) but I'm not sure if PPAs are available for Debian and I do need one or two of those in my daily usage of my computers.

As for the AMD driver, that will depend very much on what AMD hardware you have; AMD now has very good support for some hardware which is installed with the OS and therefore needing no further action from you after installation.

PPA's are highly discouraged on Debian.

Rats! That link talks about Debian Stable. Missed that!
