Linux Lite Xfce vs. Xubuntu

[nomko]

Perhaps you should drive it around the block a few times and get a feel for what it actually is. 

I actually did that with many Ubuntu based distro's and at the end they all feel the same to me. At this point i'm running Mint 17.3 Xfce on my laptop while my daughter is using Mint 17.2 Xfce. But i feel it is lagging a bit and doesn't really run well on it. But basically, it doesn't matter which package does come pre-installed or extra added like Mint or Linux Lite, under the bonnet they all use Ubuntu. So, that's why i am very suspicious when a new distro calls itself the latest/newest/fresh distro outthere.

Beside my above arguments, i don't see any obstacles not using Linux Lite on my daughter's laptop though. So, i'll give it a try.
