In fact the video rendering is very smooth in Debian. Also, Arch and Arch based distros like Bridge and Manjaro are awesome and they perform really well on limited resources. My personal favorite is Manjaro as it is a lot easier to install and has a rolling release, meaning Arindam Senhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08081209827341326458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402517875283707603.post-42390974323239502402013-08-22T12:26:17.239-07:002013-08-22T12:26:17.239-07:00Lightweight desktops are attractive for use with h...Lightweight desktops are attractive for use with htpc. Would you recommend this for htpc use? Right now my htpc uses Linux Mint Xfce, but I am thinking about moving to PCLinuxOS LXDE, in the hopes it boots faster and uses less resources. Boot times are an important factor. Also, maybe some kind of performance measure when playing HD video.igorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12087999668155540136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402517875283707603.post-30012871419989928852013-08-20T12:01:16.188-07:002013-08-20T12:01:16.188-07:00Hi Nilguy:

I'm typing this from Unity, and the Compiz process is only ~75M. If we count that and the XOrg process, We're at ~140M. <br /><br />Granted, I disable (uninstall) a lot of the lenses that I don't need, but... are there other parts to unity you're measuring that I'm oblivious to?
