An Everyday Linux User Review Of Xubuntu 16.10 - A Good Place To Start
===============
### Introduction
[![](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i4QOIuRjyWA/WAJ9zWbjKeI/AAAAAAAAM1U/-t0-4KB6cFgdyk3LvYbNDNiuC0dB29vRACLcB/s640/live1.png)][36]
Xubuntu has always been one of my favourite distributions. It doesn't look as glamourous as some of the other Linux offerings out there and it certainly doesn't come with all the software you need pre-installed.
The thing that Xubuntu gives you is a great base to start from. 
If you are the sort of person who likes to customise the look and feel of their desktop then XFCE is definitely the best desktop environment for this. 
If you are low on system resources or you like to keep things nice and slick then XFCE is again a great option.
Xubuntu therefore has a head start on many of the other top Linux distributions because the XFCE desktop is installed by default.
There is no doubt that when it comes to hardware compatibility, ease of use, stability, ease of installation and a large community, Ubuntu is hard to beat.
Xubuntu is an official flavour of the Ubuntu Linux distribution so you get the best of Ubuntu but with the XFCE desktop installed instead of Unity.
If you want to be the one to choose the applications that come with your distribution then some other distributions come lots of applications pre-installed that you may not need.
Xubuntu comes with the bare essentials and beyond the small core of default inclusions it is up to you to find and install the rest.
This for me is why Xubuntu has always been a great distribution. Start with a simple base installation and customise it to be what you want it to be. 
### How To Get Xubuntu
You can visit the Xubuntu website at
 [http://xubuntu.org/][35]
[![](https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GnYseQr9r3c/WAKA9R3hHPI/AAAAAAAAM1g/A3rvnr3W3Tk55apwsqmFs8nvr7zAMWnLACLcB/s640/getxubuntu.PNG)][34]
The download page can be found at 
[http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/][33]
There are two versions available. The LTS version is 16.04 and is the one most people will want to go for unless you like updating your operating system every 6 months.
The other version is the one I am reviewing today which is version 16.10. 
You can either download a torrent in order to get the ISO file or you can visit one of the mirrors.
[![](https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VBWH0CJsijM/WAKB3uDPvNI/AAAAAAAAM1k/cpigdxtjMEUQANxb6BF4efS9g7EZDFnZACLcB/s640/mirrorlist.PNG)][32]
If you choose to download from a mirror click on the appropriate ISO. For example click on the amd-64.iso file for 64-bit or i386.iso for 32-bit.
There are lots of guides for showing how to create bootable Linux USB drives:
* [This one shows how to create a Ubuntu one but it will work with Xubuntu][3]
* [You can also try this one which is for Xubuntu][2]
* [Or you can even try this one][1]
If all this seems too much trouble you can also
 [buy one from here][31]
.
### Installation
[![](https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4GZVmSbI3nw/WAKDyLh8UdI/AAAAAAAAM10/BhSSR0e3GkYC-5fSrjyLmhNKpuQnogbdQCLcB/s320/install1.png)][30]
Installation of Xubuntu, as with other flavours of Ubuntu, is relatively straight forward.
If you have installed one, then you can generally install any of them.
Start off by choosing the installation language.
[![](https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0YgUIjeTb6I/WAKECFfeOwI/AAAAAAAAM14/lyUO2P7O9WYjLgCS0i-ARAbhnvGho_71ACLcB/s320/install2.png)][29]
You will be asked whether you want to update as you go and whether you wish to install the third party codecs and tools which enable you to play MP3 audio and use proprietary drivers.
You need to be connected to the internet in order to do either of these things.
Again It is relatively straight forward and covered later on in the review.
[![](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Pzt6YUVJbGY/WAKEf6QY2-I/AAAAAAAAM18/I41MoEvv_aguUX6Y9HkVLC_QnONpzyCVwCLcB/s320/install3.png)][28]
If you have a spare unallocated disk partition and you have Windows installed you will see the option to install Xubuntu alongside Windows in a dual boot setup.
You also get the option to install Xubuntu as the sole operating system and you can also choose something else which lets you partition the way you want to.
[![](https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tcwOutnWJk8/WAKE5kGhPxI/AAAAAAAAM2A/9ZZrZRi6KR4renDxjwbRw8uoRqpAI8NzACLcB/s320/install4.png)][27]
The next step is to choose where you live. This sets your time zone so that the clock is set up correctly.
[![](https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cCNxMeLAE-Y/WAKFQjSZe2I/AAAAAAAAM2I/ZaTKZ8DAzFg-TOfS5BkNdN1-HYlRXweYwCLcB/s320/install5.png)][26]
Two steps to go.
Choose your keyboard layout by choosing the language and keyboard configuration.
[![](https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rnLEH6sBp7E/WAKFbgaxakI/AAAAAAAAM2M/-mG3lSxc41EKPQ2BnNbSmLRdgVeyT36jwCLcB/s320/install6.png)][25]
Finally create a default user.
Enter your name, give your computer a name, set a username and then enter and repeat a password.
Xubuntu will now install and you should be good to go.
### First Impressions
[![](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-twtmUl3w008/WAKFtvOGMuI/AAAAAAAAM2Q/txM1lfCM7QkzhLDqEqacavmAMMg2DSr0ACLcB/s640/fulldesktop.png)][24]
Xubuntu starts with a blue desktop with a single panel at the top. You will also see all of the drives that are available on your computer as icons on the desktop.
At the top of the screen is a single panel.
The left corner on the panel has a single icon (picture of a mouse) which when clicked brings up a stylish, lightweight but fully functional menu known as the Whisker menu.
The top right corner has icons for notifications, power settings, bluetooth settings, network settings, audio settings and a clock.
### Connecting To The Internet
[![](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nEvPMHkpTQ8/WAKG17nVliI/AAAAAAAAM2Y/2K6alEtBWAg9x9GS7hDEoJwprrwOqUQfwCLcB/s640/internet.png)][23]
You can connect to the internet by clicking the network icon on the panel. A list of wireless networks will appear and you can connect to one by clicking on it and enter the password for the network.
I have installed Xubuntu on my Lenovo Ideapad Y700 which is quite modern. Many distributions have caused subtle issues with wireless connectivity which I have had to work around.
Xubuntu 16.10 works without having to make any modifications.
### Drivers
[![](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bBGLZIp5J5k/WAKHG1w2RqI/AAAAAAAAM2c/nSISH5XFhQUfoIpXyuEUKlVqTieEi6_oACLcB/s640/nvidia.png)][22]
It is worth looking for additional drivers which may be available for your computer. 
Quite often the default option will be the open source drivers which are decent enough but if you have a good graphics card then it is worth installing the proprietary drivers.
You can find the additional drivers setup screen by opening the menu and searching for additional drivers.
If you see a driver appear for your graphics card and it says not working then I recommend sticking with the default graphics driver.
### Printers
[![](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-loH1k_rWYcA/WAKICKT7YUI/AAAAAAAAM2g/01rCedfYovgesf5Cf1RlcwFVfwPwhf2JACLcB/s320/printer.png)][21]
I have an Epson WF-2630 wireless printer. Xubuntu was able to find the printer straight away and installed the drivers relevant for the printer.
I printed test pages and the output was perfectly adequate.
### Network Attached Storage
[![](https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hFDeZKOzZu4/WAKIWilPHoI/AAAAAAAAM2o/GhJBVIDfU0oPgc7Z8cvH4i4gbu_3tlOfgCLcB/s640/wdmycloud.png)][20]
I have a WD MyCloud Storage device which is accessible over a wireless network. 
You can access the device using the default file manager called Thunar. It is worth noting that when I clicked on Network to show devices the WD MyCloud device showed up but when I clicked on it I received an error.
However when I opened the Windows Network Folder the WD MyCloud device showed up again and I was able to access the folders on the drive.
### Software
[![](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nPqWKUsDVoI/WAKJTxLDxUI/AAAAAAAAM2w/8LoOvhNltV8IQtSoyN_oPWjjKyV1bTMyACLcB/s640/whynotfirefox.png)][19]
I mentioned at the beginning of the review that Xubuntu comes with a minimal set of applications. There is however almost everything you could need to get started.
Firefox is installed as the default web browser and Thunderbird is the default email client.
[![](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Tw2PlooCqVU/WAKJznZu2DI/AAAAAAAAM20/E0RDAQKPxNY6l0TF10s2Yo9ge-LToZFtQCLcB/s640/parole.png)][18]
You also get the full LibreOffice suite and the Parole media player which does the job.
There are a host of other tools such as an image viewer, calculator, disk burning software and a bittorrent client.
[![](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jDTpUNkQLYA/WAKKLPYyIEI/AAAAAAAAM24/0hcjRSnQonIdhnb1Knq1gMu_2i3bWo3ZQCLcB/s640/imageviewer.png)][17]
I am glad that Abiword and Gnumeric have largely been omitted from most major distributions nowadays because they are both fairly irrelevant. Most people end up installing LibreOffice anyway.
The lack of a dedicated audio player is a little bit surprising and I have to say that I generally end up installing Google's Chrome browser as opposed to using Firefox.
The top picture in this section shows why. In that picture I am trying to watch Curb Your Enthusiam via the Google Play store but there were various DRM and other issues which prevented the video playing.
I can't be bothered jumping through hoops to bypass these issues when a simple download from the Google website sorts out the issue as shown below.
[![](https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_aqn8leBcuY/WAKLOAzAhnI/AAAAAAAAM3A/yruGYEG0PHc4WRAqRjeVoYxjhVlHiIfCwCLcB/s640/Screenshot_2016-10-15_17-57-28.png)][16]
### Installing Software
[![](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6kjAgQV6Oss/WAKLhFbihcI/AAAAAAAAM3E/TLeK0xPexNEaxdzb_NkPn_BDDxOoTR2-gCLcB/s640/software.png)][15]
The main issue that has plagued Ubuntu based distributions since the release of 16.04 is the fact that certain applications don't appear in the graphical software tool used to install software.
For instance you won't find Steam in the software manager.
[![](https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4e1ozcMoijU/WAKL2Gp5C1I/AAAAAAAAM3I/VY7XBvxOLCkiK-UdSvypfQFnrkfCtt3rwCLcB/s640/steamnotinsoftware.png)][14]
If you use the command line and type "sudo apt-cache search steam" you will see that the software is available to be installed.
[![](https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rzTMI5a6EAE/WAKMFfDi-2I/AAAAAAAAM3Q/1-l612iZmSEYY188kfyzKo5s75nFWSz6ACLcB/s640/steaminaptget.png)][13]
Steam isn't the only omission, other packages such as Skype are also not available via the graphical tool. 
I would have expected this to have been resolved by now across all Ubuntu distributions.
I reviewed Kubuntu 16.04 recently and the software tool called Discover was completely inept. The search function didn't work at all.
Fortunately the software manager in Xubuntu generally works for most packages and I used it to search for and install the Quod Libet audio player.
[![](https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-l_INcXhflac/WAKMqz8mYtI/AAAAAAAAM3U/qBNl5YO8VOEMndpZm5IEMYOGYrih_Q4DQCLcB/s640/quodlibet.png)][12]
[![](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-erNT96pq67c/WAKM-331qKI/AAAAAAAAM3Y/jbnf5cZbFxgM9Q543XA3bFDqQ91MkmpJACLcB/s320/music.png)][11]
Incidentally if you picked the option to install codecs whilst installing Xubuntu then MP3 audio will play without any issues.
If not then you should open a terminal emulator and install the Xubuntu Restricted Extras package.
### Customising Xubuntu
[![](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MlFCGvvjSe8/WAKNdG8i6SI/AAAAAAAAM3g/6g7WNJbmZX856kp4ezO56boIWbGLRLMdQCLcB/s320/changewallpaper.png)][10]
There are so many things you can do to
 [customise Xubuntu as shown here][9]
.
Xubuntu comes with a decent set of wallpapers as shown above and one of the first things you might like to do is change the wallpaper and add a new docking style panel with launchers to all of your favourite applications.
[![](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h_HRUcMTYu0/WAKN7J_0BJI/AAAAAAAAM3k/NKy7ybXZCEM23IK0Nkjp-TDo2PQ1ff4bQCLcB/s640/newwallpaper.png)][8]
A relatively new feature available for Xubuntu is the XFDashboard. This brings up a dashboard similar to the one supplied with the GNOME desktop. You can add a launcher and keyboard shortcut to make it appear.
[![](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZCmwHtAahH0/WAKORXPnNFI/AAAAAAAAM3o/lKR4bnEbi-syQdMp_KoCb8xQAd4WTP5dgCLcB/s640/xfdashboard.png)][7]
This view provides a nice way of choosing different workspaces and launching applications.
To be honest when it comes to customising Xubuntu the world is your oyster. 
[![](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lXhn0cuCoe8/WAKOmpBZc6I/AAAAAAAAM3w/1C3ljgPegr887xG5O5A0-0RBPAQlA3qHACLcB/s640/finalcustomisation.png)][6]
### Issues
My biggest issue with Xubuntu (along with all of the Ubuntu distributions) is the lack of key software programs in the graphical software installer. Why omit Steam?
I received one crash whilst using Xubuntu and that was during the installation as shown by the following image:
[![](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-saCiLJ-LXiU/WAKPh4EbsKI/AAAAAAAAM34/Cb28FoR-xZYeXd5lmbyOfbK1MuFIr_wmQCLcB/s640/installproblem.png)][5]
I have no idea what the problem was because it didn't actually have any side effects. The installation worked without a hitch.
### Summary
I don't review Xubuntu that often and it isn't because I don't like Xubuntu. In fact I am a big fan of Xubuntu and I have a heavily customised version on one of my other computers. 
I use that computer when I want to get things done because lets face it there is nothing more annoying than seeing this:
[![](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GX3xYYXeTfY/WAKTRbvHv0I/AAAAAAAAM4Q/NzN8PfAOHGouj6z7-TPLyC18e_TXhCukACLcB/s640/IMG_20161015_163354-min.jpg)][4]
Seriously how can people say Windows just works when it seems that every other day the message "installing 1 of 285" appears and you lose your computer for an hour whilst it updates itself.
Xubuntu (as with every other distribution) updates without interrupting your day at all.
The truth is that nothing much really changes with Xubuntu. It is solid, steady and it doesn't need to change (except fot the software manager thing).
I would totally recommend Xubuntu.
I have to say that it is worth also checking out Peppermint OS, Linux Mint XFCE or Manjaro XFCE as well.

一个日常 Linux 使用者关于 Xubuntu 16.10 的论述 - 一个开始的好选择
===============
### 简介
[![](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i4QOIuRjyWA/WAJ9zWbjKeI/AAAAAAAAM1U/-t0-4KB6cFgdyk3LvYbNDNiuC0dB29vRACLcB/s640/live1.png)][36]
Xubuntu 一直是我最喜欢的发行版。与其他的 Linux 发行版相比，他的外观看起来不那么迷人，它当然也不会预装所有你需要的软件。
Xubuntu 给你的仅仅是一个基础的初始形态. 
如果你是那种喜欢定制桌面的外观和触感的人，那么 XFCE 绝对是最好的桌面环境。
如果你希望低系统资源占用，或你想让工作又漂亮又丝滑，那么 XFCE 则是一个伟大的选择。
Xubuntu 之所以成为一个优秀的 Linux 发行版，就是因为他默认安装 XFCE 桌面。
毫无疑问，当涉及到硬件兼容性、易用性、稳定性、易于安装和拥有一个大型社区，Ubuntu 是很难被超越的。
Xubuntu 是 Ubuntu Linux 发行版的官方支持的，因此你可以拥有所有 Ubuntu 的优点，除了用 XFCE 桌面代替 Untiy 桌面。
你可以选择性的安装应用到你的发行版上，而不是像其他发行版那样预装了一堆你不需要的应用。
Xubuntu 只在小核心中附带了一些必须的应用，直到你找到并安装其他的应用。
对我来说，以上就是我为什么认为 Xubuntu 是一个极好的发行版的原因。一个简单的初始安装并且任由我将其自定义为我想要的样子。
### 如何获得 Xubuntu
你可以在 [http://xubuntu.org/][35] 访问 Xubuntu 的网站。
[![](https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GnYseQr9r3c/WAKA9R3hHPI/AAAAAAAAM1g/A3rvnr3W3Tk55apwsqmFs8nvr7zAMWnLACLcB/s640/getxubuntu.PNG)][34]
你可以在这里 [http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/][33] 找到下载页。
它有两个版本，大多数人会选择长期支持版本（LTS），除非你希望每六个月更新一次系统。
另一个版本是我今天要讲的，它就是 16.10 版。 
你既可以选择一个种子文件来下载，也可以访问他的镜像源下载。

如果你选择在镜像源中下载，你需要点击合适的 ISO 文件。比如 64 位的选择 amd-64.iso 文件，而 32 位的选择 i386.iso。

### 安装
[![](https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4GZVmSbI3nw/WAKDyLh8UdI/AAAAAAAAM10/BhSSR0e3GkYC-5fSrjyLmhNKpuQnogbdQCLcB/s320/install1.png)][30]
与 Ubuntu 相比，安装 Xubuntu 相对要直接一点。
如果你曾经装了一个，那么你可以简单的安装任何一个。
开始时选择你的安装语言。
[![](https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0YgUIjeTb6I/WAKECFfeOwI/AAAAAAAAM14/lyUO2P7O9WYjLgCS0i-ARAbhnvGho_71ACLcB/s320/install2.png)][29]
你会被问到，是否需要同时安装更新，和是否要安装第三方软件，包括播放音乐的软件和专有驱动。
想要完成这些，你需要联网。
相比于直接安装，他会在安装好后覆盖安装更新.
[![](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Pzt6YUVJbGY/WAKEf6QY2-I/AAAAAAAAM18/I41MoEvv_aguUX6Y9HkVLC_QnONpzyCVwCLcB/s320/install3.png)][28]
如果你有一个备用的未分配的磁盘分区和并且安装了 Windows，您将看到可以选择安装 Xubuntu 并设置双启动。
您还可以选择安装 Xubuntu 作为唯一的操作系统，你也可以选择别的任何你喜欢的分区来安装。
[![](https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tcwOutnWJk8/WAKE5kGhPxI/AAAAAAAAM2A/9ZZrZRi6KR4renDxjwbRw8uoRqpAI8NzACLcB/s320/install4.png)][27]
下一步是设置你所在的区域以确定你的时区。
[![](https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cCNxMeLAE-Y/WAKFQjSZe2I/AAAAAAAAM2I/ZaTKZ8DAzFg-TOfS5BkNdN1-HYlRXweYwCLcB/s320/install5.png)][26]
接下来两步是选择你的键盘模式，并选择你的语言。
[![](https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rnLEH6sBp7E/WAKFbgaxakI/AAAAAAAAM2M/-mG3lSxc41EKPQ2BnNbSmLRdgVeyT36jwCLcB/s320/install6.png)][25]
最后还是创建一个初始账户.
输入你的名字，你计算机的名字，设置用户名和密码。
Xubuntu 将会被安装在你的电脑上了。
### 第一印象
[![](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-twtmUl3w008/WAKFtvOGMuI/AAAAAAAAM2Q/txM1lfCM7QkzhLDqEqacavmAMMg2DSr0ACLcB/s640/fulldesktop.png)][24]
Xubuntu 的初始界面只有面板位于蓝色桌面的顶部。通过你桌面上的图标，你可以看到所有可用的设备。
画面的顶部是个简单的面板。
面板的左侧角落有一个单独的图标（老鼠的样子），点击它后会出现一个时尚，轻量但功能全面的菜单，它被称为 Whisker（胡须）菜单。
在右上角有着通知、电源、蓝牙、网络、音量和时钟的图标。
### 连接互联网
[![](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nEvPMHkpTQ8/WAKG17nVliI/AAAAAAAAM2Y/2K6alEtBWAg9x9GS7hDEoJwprrwOqUQfwCLcB/s640/internet.png)][23]
你可以通过点击面板上的网络图标来连接互联网。一个无线网络的列表将会出现，你可以选择一个点击进去，并键入密码，就可以连接了。
我是在我的联想 Ideapad Y700 上安装 Xubuntu 的，这个本子还是比较新潮的。但是许多发行版在无线网络连接时都会报错，而我必须使用无线网络工作。
Xubuntu 16.10 工作时却没有出现任何问题。
### 驱动
[![](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bBGLZIp5J5k/WAKHG1w2RqI/AAAAAAAAM2c/nSISH5XFhQUfoIpXyuEUKlVqTieEi6_oACLcB/s640/nvidia.png)][22]
为你的电脑寻找可用的附加驱动是十分必要的。
虽然作为默认设置的开源驱动是基本够用的，但是如果你有着较好的显卡，并且想获得更好的图形体验，那就十分有必要去寻找专有的驱动。
你可以找到附加驱动的窗口，通过打开它来寻找附加驱动。
如果你找到了适合你的显卡驱动，但是它显示不工作，那么我还是建议你用默认的图形驱动。
### 打印
[![](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-loH1k_rWYcA/WAKICKT7YUI/AAAAAAAAM2g/01rCedfYovgesf5Cf1RlcwFVfwPwhf2JACLcB/s320/printer.png)][21]
我有一个爱普生 WF-2630 无线打印机。 Xubuntu 能够直接找到这台打印机，并安装相关驱动，来进行打印工作。
我试着打印了一张纸，发现它的输出非常合适。
### 网络附加存储
[![](https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hFDeZKOzZu4/WAKIWilPHoI/AAAAAAAAM2o/GhJBVIDfU0oPgc7Z8cvH4i4gbu_3tlOfgCLcB/s640/wdmycloud.png)][20]
我有一个 WD MyCloud 存储设备需要通过网络连接上。 
你可以通过默认的文件管理器 Thunar 来访问这个设备。值得注意的是，我在网络设备中找到了 WD MyCloud 设备，但是点击它时显示错误。
但是我打开 Windows 的网络文件夹时，WD MyCloud 也显示出来了，而且我也能正常的访问文件夹
### 软件
[![](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nPqWKUsDVoI/WAKJTxLDxUI/AAAAAAAAM2w/8LoOvhNltV8IQtSoyN_oPWjjKyV1bTMyACLcB/s640/whynotfirefox.png)][19]
我在文章开始时提到了，Xubuntu 给了一个最小化的应用程序配置，所以几乎所有事情你都可以直接开始。
火狐浏览器是它的默认浏览器，Thunderbird 是默认的邮件客户端
[![](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Tw2PlooCqVU/WAKJznZu2DI/AAAAAAAAM20/E0RDAQKPxNY6l0TF10s2Yo9ge-LToZFtQCLcB/s640/parole.png)][18]
你也有一个全套的 Libreoffice 套件和 Parole 媒体播放器。
它也有一系列工具，比如图片查看器、计算器、光盘刻录工具，还有一个BT下载器。
[![](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jDTpUNkQLYA/WAKKLPYyIEI/AAAAAAAAM24/0hcjRSnQonIdhnb1Knq1gMu_2i3bWo3ZQCLcB/s640/imageviewer.png)][17]
我很高兴，现在在大多数发行版上，Abiword 和 Gnumeric 都被忽略掉了，因为他们实在无关紧要。大多数人们最终会安装 Libreoffice 的。
缺乏专门的音频播放器这点比较奇怪。另外我需要提到的是我通常最终会安装谷歌的 Chrome 浏览器，而不是使用Firefox。
这章节的第一个图片说明了原因。这张图片里，我试图利用谷歌商店里的东西激起你的兴趣，可惜的是各种版本的 DRM 和其他一些问题导致了视频无法播放。
当从谷歌网站上下载一个东西都报错了之后，我就不能接受简单的跳过这个问题。如下所示。
[![](https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_aqn8leBcuY/WAKLOAzAhnI/AAAAAAAAM3A/yruGYEG0PHc4WRAqRjeVoYxjhVlHiIfCwCLcB/s640/Screenshot_2016-10-15_17-57-28.png)][16]
### 安装软件
[![](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6kjAgQV6Oss/WAKLhFbihcI/AAAAAAAAM3E/TLeK0xPexNEaxdzb_NkPn_BDDxOoTR2-gCLcB/s640/software.png)][15]
在基于 Ubuntu 16.04 版本的发行版上普遍存在的一个主要问题是有些程序无法在图形安装软件中安装。
比如你在软件管理器中找不到 Steam 。
[![](https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4e1ozcMoijU/WAKL2Gp5C1I/AAAAAAAAM3I/VY7XBvxOLCkiK-UdSvypfQFnrkfCtt3rwCLcB/s640/steamnotinsoftware.png)][14]
如果你使用命令行输入 “sudo apt-cache search steam” 你会发现软件可以安装。
[![](https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rzTMI5a6EAE/WAKMFfDi-2I/AAAAAAAAM3Q/1-l612iZmSEYY188kfyzKo5s75nFWSz6ACLcB/s640/steaminaptget.png)][13]
并不是 只有Steam 被遗漏了，其他软件比如 Skype 同样不能再图形软件管理工具中找到。
我希望这个问题能够在所有 Ubuntu 发现版中间被解决。
我最近还试用了 Kubuntu 16.04 ，发现他的软件工具完全无用，搜索根本不工作。
幸运的是，Xubuntu 上的软件工具可以安装大多数软件包，我利用它搜寻并装上了 Quod Libet 音乐播放器。
[![](https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-l_INcXhflac/WAKMqz8mYtI/AAAAAAAAM3U/qBNl5YO8VOEMndpZm5IEMYOGYrih_Q4DQCLcB/s640/quodlibet.png)][12]
[![](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-erNT96pq67c/WAKM-331qKI/AAAAAAAAM3Y/jbnf5cZbFxgM9Q543XA3bFDqQ91MkmpJACLcB/s320/music.png)][11]
顺便说一下，如果你在安装 Xubuntu 时选择了同时安装 MP3 播放器，它也不会出现任何问题。
如果你没有同时安装 MP3 播放器，那么你需要打开终端模拟器，安装 Xubuntu 限制的额外包。
### 个性化 Xubuntu
[![](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MlFCGvvjSe8/WAKNdG8i6SI/AAAAAAAAM3g/6g7WNJbmZX856kp4ezO56boIWbGLRLMdQCLcB/s320/changewallpaper.png)][10]
在这方面你可以做很多事：
 [个性，Xubuntu 的方法在这][9]。
Xubuntu 提供一整套壁纸，如上图所示，你要做的第一件事就是选一个好看的壁纸并添加一个像 Dock 的面板和一个能够启动所有你喜欢的软件的启动器。
[![](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h_HRUcMTYu0/WAKN7J_0BJI/AAAAAAAAM3k/NKy7ybXZCEM23IK0Nkjp-TDo2PQ1ff4bQCLcB/s640/newwallpaper.png)][8]
Xubuntu 有一个相对较新的特性就是 XFDashboard 。它带来了与 Gnome 类似的 Dash 面板。你可以在上面添加启动器和能够让他快速出现的键盘快捷键。
[![](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZCmwHtAahH0/WAKORXPnNFI/AAAAAAAAM3o/lKR4bnEbi-syQdMp_KoCb8xQAd4WTP5dgCLcB/s640/xfdashboard.png)][7]
展示了一个快速选择不同工作区和启动应用的好方法。
说老实话，当谈到个性化 Xubuntu 时，有一种世界尽在我掌中的感觉。
[![](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lXhn0cuCoe8/WAKOmpBZc6I/AAAAAAAAM3w/1C3ljgPegr887xG5O5A0-0RBPAQlA3qHACLcB/s640/finalcustomisation.png)][6]
### 问题
我在使用 Xubuntu （包括所有基于 Ubuntu 的发行版）时感受到的最大问题就是应用商店里面找不到一些重要的应用。为啥没有 Steam ？
在 Xubuntu 安装时收到一个崩溃的错误，如下图所示。
[![](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-saCiLJ-LXiU/WAKPh4EbsKI/AAAAAAAAM34/Cb28FoR-xZYeXd5lmbyOfbK1MuFIr_wmQCLcB/s640/installproblem.png)][5]
我没有搞明白这个问题是怎么回事，因为它没有带来任何副作用。安装工作也没有出岔子。
### 总结
我并没有经常使用 Xubuntu ，并不是因为我不喜欢它。事实上我是 Xubuntu 的大粉丝，并且我在另一个电脑上有一个它的大量定制版。
我使用电脑时，我希望把事情做到最好，我最恼火的是看到下面这个情况。
[![](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GX3xYYXeTfY/WAKTRbvHv0I/AAAAAAAAM4Q/NzN8PfAOHGouj6z7-TPLyC18e_TXhCukACLcB/s640/IMG_20161015_163354-min.jpg)][4]
认真的说，为啥会有人认为 windows 适合工作，当他每天看到这个消息 “正在安装(1/285)” ，于是你就失去了一个小时，以便让他进行自我更新。
而 Xubuntu（和其他发行版一样）更新不会打断你每天的工作。
事实是，Xubuntu 真的没有什么改变，它是坚固的,稳定的,它不需要改变（除了软件管理的需要以外）。
我非常推荐 Xubuntu。
我还想说去试一试 Peppermint OS、Linux Mint XFCE 或者 Manjaro XFCE 也是十分值得的.
