I'm a firm believer that a Trash (or whatever someone may call it) is a
MUST HAVE feature in any OS no matter what. If you are 100% sure you don't
really need that file/folder, someone else may not. I mean in case you need
it later on for whatever reason. YMMV :)

If you ask me, Google is your best friend :)
Forums, IRC, Emails are your 2nd option and in most cases, google will
direct you to a thread or two where you can find whatever you are looking
for. If not, you can always ask :)

Anyway, I don't mind to add that to the Wiki Pages, after all, I'm not an
expert in that area so will leave it to those who know better but I was
just stating my opinion :)

Dropping an entire system for that without searching is not good idea :)
However, you asked and got the answer so hope you will not drop Lubuntu at
least for now ;)
