I have an old computer and I have installed the latest Ubuntu 14.0 LTS 32-bit. However, the computer is fairly slow. Applications take long to open. My hardware specifications are the following: - AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3500+ - 1 GB Ram

This computer runs well on windows XP since I set it back to factory settings. But I wanted to try out Ubuntu. Hence I have dual booted it. But the performance is slow hence I am wondering whether I am better off with Lubuntu or xbuntu. If I do need to change, which one is better based on my current hardware. If there are any other better options please let me know. Also, I would like to be able to do some development work with whatever Linux flavor can work with the given specs if possible.

Thank you.

I personally prefer xfce but lxde uses less ram, if you want something that you can costumize and feel fresh out of the box go with xubuntu, if you prefer something closer to windows xp go with lubuntu, you can try both using live usb, here are some instruction on how to make one How to create a bootable USB stick on Ubuntu

Bro try to clean up free space. Use bleach-bit tool for that purpose.

This may also be possible because you have a 64 bit processor type system. and you are using 32 bit OS.

I have experienced the same trouble when i once installed windows of different architecture...

And also google your questions .there are millions of ways to speed up ubuntu.

Hope so this will help you.
