Hey there! It sounds like you had a bit of a quirky experience with Ubuntu 17.04. When you rebooted, the lock screen looked strange and the interface didn’t feel right. After some tweaking, you found a few options like Cinnamon and Ubuntu settings. Those choices seem more than just cosmetic—they’re related to how the desktop environment is configured. If you want to explore them further, just check the menu options and see what they offer!
These are the window managers, acting like UI skins. You can add many of them and choose one at login. I favor LXDE since it consumes around 50MB of memory after logging in.
Oh, that's great! Which option you prefer matters less now—looking forward to trying lxde. Thanks!
Ubuntu/U+XOrg exists mainly for compatibility reasons. They share most features, though the Xorg version relies on an older rendering engine. Ubuntu typically uses Vulkan, while XOrg employs OpenGL.
