Right... The only reason you use faster more secure software is...you have to?
Well, I kinda dig this, I'm using lubuntu and it's certainly better in some ways than windows, and I couldn't play games on this thing anyway so it's not like I'm loosing functionality, when I get a new pc I'll certainly install some different distro and try it out
Gotcha.
I just installed lubuntu on an old laptop this weekend actually. It ran like a top but for me that desktop environment is clunky so I ended up using Fedora on that machine and so far it is working well. That machine has only a 32 gb HD.. so my options were limited.
I like gnome a lot personally, and one distro I've had a lot of luck with that comes with gnome by default is pop_os, so I would recommend that when you upgrade! Just as a generally well configured (and still lightweight when compared to windows) distro. Just about anything that supports Ubuntu runs on it without much if any fuss too
