    I think Lubuntu would be an ill choice as I believe LXDE is

    Lubuntu now uses the LXQt desktop, which is a result of the original
    LXDE moving away from GTK and going to the Qt interface. Haven't used
    it but it should still be a fairly "light" desktop environment.

    Not sure if you guys saw, but the Raspberry Pi desktop on their OS right now is openbox with an LXDE theme, and some lx apps. Runs pretty nice. Then again, Openbox always did :).

    BBSes are still, to me, long-form media. After seeing some of the experiments with Telegram integration into Fidonet, I'm leaning the opposite direction. I like having a place where I can thoughtfully
    type a response into a real keyboard, not compose a 140 character
    response onto a touch screen.

    I would have to agree with you on all these points, actually.

    Whoah! That one goes back a few months, eh? :D

    A year later, the Telegram integration is pretty slick. It was
    never limited to 140 chars. Infact, even most FTN/bbs
    responses are shorter than that. :/

    The Telegram desktop version accommodates laptops and fullsize
    pcs w/keyboards for all the longform responses one desires.
