“One user-friendly distro that’s popular is PCLinuxOS, and they
have just come out with a new release. But what does it have that
other distros do not? That’s my goal, to explore PCLinuxOS and see
what you can expect that you won’t find elsewhere. And, with that
said, let’s dig in.“There are two different desktops you can opt to go with on
PCLinuxOS: KDE or LXDE. KDE is an obvious choice and is offered by
plenty of distributions. LXDE (Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment)
on the other hand is primarily distributed by Lubuntu and Knoppix.
Because there are already two other distributions shipping with
LXDE, what about the PCLinuxOS take on this desktop would make
anyone want to use PCLinuxOS over these two distributions?”
