'''LUbuntu''' is a light-weighted Ubuntu desktop system. It is based on LXDE and has the following features:<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'''Light-weighted''' － it consumes relatively less CPU resources than a common desktop system. When a system's RAM is sufficient it can achieve much better performance.<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'''Less power consumption''' － it consumes relatively less power or resources than a common desktop system to achieve the same performance.<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'''Compact & neat''' － its desktop is based on GTK+ 2 and supports multiple languages.<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'''Easy to use''' － its GUI looks similar to MS Windows'.<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'''Customizable''' － Users can customize LXDE's GUI.<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'''Compatible''' － it is compatible with freedesktop.org.<br /><br />
The Lubuntu Desktop has been optimized for adopting Mali GPU. It has driver support for X.org and supports Hardware Cursor, OpenGL acceleration and etc.<br/>

===Video Playing with Hardware Decoding===
====Video Playing with Qt Player====
Lubuntu is preinstalled with Qt5-Player which has Rockchip's gstreamer plug-in and supports playing 4K video stream. Here are the steps to start it:<br />
On Lubuntu's main window open "Other" and click on Qt5-Player<br />
<br />
Here is how this player looks like. It can display in full screen. You can adjust its volume:<br />

====Video Playing with Commandline Utility====
Open a commandline utility and type the following command:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
gst-player.sh 
</syntaxhighlight>
Your selected video file will be played in Overlay and its voice will be output to the earphone. You can use "which gst-player.sh" to locate this script and customize it.

===eDP LCD Rotation===
If your board is connected to an eDP LCD and you want to rotate its display by 90/180/270 degrees you can do it with "xrotate.sh".
You can run the following command as root to rotate its display by 90 degrees clockwise. It will start the lightdm service to make it effective:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo xrotate.sh -m CW -r
</syntaxhighlight>
You can get more details by running "xrotate -h".<br/>
However this command cannot rotate HDMI display. If you want to rotate HDMI display you may need to make changes in "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"

===Connect USB Camera===
Connect a USB camera (e.g. Logitech C270) to {{{1}}}, run the following commands:
+<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+export DISPLAY=:0.0
+guvcview -d /dev/video10
+</syntaxhighlight>

===5G WiFi===
Click on the network icon on top right of the Lubuntu GUI, select a WiFi hotspot and proceed with prompts.

===Develop Qt Application===
Lubuntu has Qt 5.10.0 which can be used to develop an X11 application. For details about SDK download and compilation refer to :[[How to Build and Install Qt Application for FriendlyELEC Boards]]<br />
When running the Qt app, you need to specify the platform parameter to xcb as follows:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
./HelloQt --platform xcb
</syntaxhighlight>

===Chromium web browser ===
Chromium web browser has enabled hardware acceleration by default, supports WebGL, and can view hardware acceleration details by entering the URL chrome://gpu, as shown below:<br />

===Cancel automatic login ===
Edit the file /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/20-lubuntu.conf and delete the line "autologin-user=pi"

===Screen saver and auto sleep related settings ===
The screen saver configuration file is /etc/xdg/autostart/xset_command.desktop. The default factory settings are that the screen saver and DPMS are both closed. You can change the configuration by modifying this file.
