We'll see how Dedo criticizes Xubuntu 14.04. It looks like MX-14.

To me, it appears to be using some other window style than Raleigh, plus a window decoration with rounded top corners--and the window buttons are sure not what MX uses.
It would be interesting to see what the base desktop RAM use is, though.
Edit: According to his review--a boot to the desktop consumes 310 MB. Without Conky or Compiz. Whoa!

Response from Dedo:
Thanks for the comments.
But the thing is, the mission statement is not important. If you said, MX-14 was designed to be heavyweight, then it would sound even better. And if you said it was a distro for advanced users, then it would be even more amazing still.
The only thing is the user - how they feel when using. And that's it.
You can take my review as criticism and reject it, or you can take it as friendly feedback - which it is - and build upon it. I hope it's the latter.
Cheers,
Igor
I am glad he read it.

He is unmoved which was a foregone conclusion, I believe. But at least you made your point.
Since his point is how one "feels using it", the conclusion I draw is that his conclusion was totally subjective. But it is what it is. I hope there are more reviews to get a better sense how reviewers feel. So far I have seen one good one not so good. Have there been any others that I missed?

I should have said not useful to me.
And regardless of number of subscribers, you can hardly call it a review.

I saw that and actually liked it, but it is not a review in the dictionary sense: "criticism imply careful examination of something, formulation of a judgment, and statement of the judgment."
