[xubuntu-users] Now this I disagree with

Hello Folks,

So I was recently reading: https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/fatalmistakes

And it states:

Don't mix desktop environments: choose Ubuntu (Gnome/Unity), Xubuntu (Xfce) or Kubuntu (KDE)
6. An Ubuntu in which both the full Unity/Gnome and the full KDE desktop
 environments has been installed, turns your system into a hopelessly 
polluted mess. This pollution will decrease performance and may cause 
instability and malfunctions.



If you want to ensure that your operating system continues to work well,
 then you'll install either Ubuntu (Gnome/Unity) or Kubuntu (KDE). And 
then you won't install any KDE applications in Ubuntu, that upon 
installation pull in half of the KDE desktop as dependent files (like 
for example DVD burner K3B does)...



Tip: when you install applications by means of Synaptic Package Manager, then you can check beforehand what a particular application needs as dependent files.



Desktop environments that share a lot "under the hood", you may install 
alongside each other, if you wish. Xfce (the desktop environment of 
Xubuntu) fits pretty nicely alongside the Gnome/Unity of Ubuntu. But 
even then some pollution is inevitable...



Have you made this mistake and do you wish to undo it? Then the best approach is unfortunately a clean re-installation.

Ok, well I was using LUBUNTU 14.04 and just decided to give up on it for now till they get some bugs that bother me that I have been talking with the mail group about via email, since I am on limited bandwith, I just REINSTALLED a FRESH copy of LUBUNTU 14.04 and then went to terminal and installed XUBUNTU on top of that. 

HOLY COW XU IS BEAUTIFUL!!! 

I then went to synaptic and removed all items starting with LU or LXDE and everythings fine its been up and running for over an hour and 34 min. 

So whats wrong with what I did? I safely removed all lxde apps?
