[lubuntu-users] Shouldn't the thumbnail function be switched OFF by default

[Mark F]

Would it be possible for Lubuntu to have 2-3 default configurations users
could choose from during install (or, initial boot)?

I like Lubuntu on a relatively robust laptop just because I don't need a
lot of eye candy. But, I always find myself wishing it was a little more
visually attractive. (I'm looking at Xubuntu right now. But, something
about X doesn't grab me. Lubuntu always strikes me as a little more
familiar to a Windows user.).

Anyway, to me I (personally) wouldn't want to see Lubuntu default to less
visual effects. I'd like more, actually. But, I agree that it's targeted to
low-resource machines and it would make more sense to do what you ask.
