Is described by its developers as light-weight in comparison toA light-weight Linux distribution is a that has lower memory and/or processor-speed requirements than a more 'feature-rich' Linux distribution. The lower demands on hardware ideally result in a, and/or allow devices with fewer (e.g. Older or ) to be used productively. The lower memory and/or processor-speed requirements are achieved by avoiding, i.e. By leaving out features that are perceived to have little or no practical use or advantage, or for which there is no or low demand.The perceived weight of a Linux distribution is strongly influenced by the included with that distribution.

Accordingly, many Linux distributions offer a choice of editions. For example, hosts several variants ('flavors') of the that include desktop environments other than the default. These variants include the and distributions for the comparatively light-weight and desktop environments.

Some distributions include only light-weight desktop environments. For example, comes only in LXDE, XFCE and MATE editions, while comes only with XFCE and.The demands that a desktop environment places on a system may be seen in a comparison of the minimum requirement of Lubuntu 10.10 and Ubuntu 10.10 desktop editions. The only significant difference between these two distributions released in October 2010 was their desktop environment: While Ubuntu 10.10 included the desktop, Lubuntu 10.10 included LXDE. And, while the minimum requirements of Ubuntu 10.10 were a 2 GHz processor and 2 GB of RAM, the minimum requirements for Lubuntu 10.10 were 128 MB of RAM and a Pentium II.
