I'd like to find the system specifications from the GUI (not via lshw).

According to this source Xubuntu is just a slim version of Ubuntu.

Xubuntu is a permutation of the Ubuntu software. It is a combination of the Xfce (Xforms common environment) and the Ubuntu operating system. [...] This permutation uses Xfce as the graphical desktop, and has an added focus of utilising a low memory footprint. [...] Xubuntu updates are released every two years – their release coinciding with Ubuntu update releases. Thus, Xubuntu uses the same version numbers and code names as Ubuntu.

Assuming the systems are fairly the same, I followed the instructions provided in this ask ubuntu entry:

Hit Super (Start button in windows) , Type and and open System Monitor.

This did however not work for me.

System Monitor doesn't seem to exist.

My version is:

me@me: lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Release:        20/04
Codename:       focal

Thanks for your insights.

  • You have me confused you asked about XUbuntu but that info says you are running Ubuntu. – David Apr 21 '21 at 14:00
  • Does this answer your question? [How do I find out which version and derivative of Ubuntu is right for my hardware in terms of minimal system requirements?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/206407/how-do-i-find-out-which-version-and-derivative-of-ubuntu-is-right-for-my-hardwar) – karel Apr 21 '21 at 14:00
  • Your link is old and not applicable to newer Ubuntu releases. As above, I'm confused, your says Ubuntu, not XUbuntu. If you actually have Ubuntu then at system settings > About you'll find the same information shown in your link. – ChanganAuto Apr 21 '21 at 14:07
  • @David - yes that is apparently how Xubuntu works: Upon startup - I see the Xubuntu logo but when checking lsb_release -a it shows Ubuntu. Citing from [this source](http://www.differencebetween.net/technology/difference-between-ubuntu-and-xubuntu/): "Xubuntu is a permutation of the Ubuntu software. It is a combination of the Xfce (Xforms common environment) and the **Ubuntu operating system**. [...]This permutation uses Xfce as the graphical desktop, and has an added focus of utilising a low memory footprint. **Xubuntu** uses the **same version numbers** and **code names as Ubuntu**." – ilam engl Apr 21 '21 at 14:19

One you can try is hardinfo.

sudo apt install hardinfo

Then it can be found in Xue Menu -> System -> System Profiler and Benchmark
