LXLE 16.04 Beta incorporates various MATE specific applications, which replace some of the GNOME ones that were available in LXLE 14.04.4, thus making the OS more lightweight, and there are a handful of apps from Linux Mint too. It’s a little bit late for a spring cleaning, but it looks like the LXLE developers have done a great job of streamlining the default applications and various core services, again, making the OS faster and less resource hungry.
