Summary
I have been running a Linux virtual machine, with the virtual disk on a USB stick for a while as my main development environment. Running a VM on my harddisk impacted performance of my windows machine (I don’t have a SSD), so I run it off a USB stick which worked nicely. I at times wanted to boot directly into my linux environment to leverage the full performance of my laptop. I also move around various computers, so haveing the portablility to use any computer and resuming work was something I desired. Thats when I looked into the options of how to do this.

Linux - Ubuntu Desktops - Which one should you choose?
Summary
I was intersted in getting a new linux distro. I know there are favorites out there, but I decided to go with Ubuntu which has been on top 10 lists for a few years at least and has a large user community. Ubuntu had switched to Unity being the default desktop, but recently announced switching back to Gnome. Considering I was going to go with the LTS version, Unity is still the default desktop. So I was intersted in trying out 2 other Ubuntu desktop variants of LXDE and XFCE. I will share my experience of installing the variants, what I learned, and what I ended up with.
