Lubuntu is an Ubuntu-based distribution which features the LXQt desktop environment. The project's latest release re-introduces an OEM install option, features a new installer prompt, and provides three install modes: Full, Normal, and Minimal. Minimal provides just a desktop environment with bare essentials, no web browser, and no Snap software. "Traditionally, installing Lubuntu only provides a regular installation mode (a single option for installs). This changes with Lubuntu 24.04, where you can now pick between Normal, Full, and Minimal. A Normal installation gives you a traditional Lubuntu experience. The Minimal mode ships with just the desktop environment and essential components (no web browser or snapd). A Full installation is the same as Normal, but comes with several recommended third-party apps: Virtual Machine Manager, Element, Thunderbird, Krita. In addition, you can choose to download and install updates during the installation procedure rather than having to install them afterwards. This can help speed up the installation process and get you up-and-running quicker." Additional details can be found in the project's release announcement.
