Xubuntu vs. Ubuntu LTS
What is the difference between Ubuntu+XFCE and Xubuntu?Future Xubuntu updates after the three year LTS period?xubuntu - is it better than xfce on ubuntu?How will be the LTS support for Xubuntu after 3 years?Which recognized flavors of Ubuntu have been granted the LTS status for 14.04?Why should I install Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 instead of Ubuntu 14.04 with gnome-shell desktop installed?Removing Xubuntu from Ubuntu 14.04Xubuntu does not recognize Epson WF-2540 All-In-OneDesktop environments and ubuntu upgradesDoes Xubuntu 18.04 have support only 3 years while Ubuntu 18.04 has 10 years?
I know that questions about why Xubuntu LTS has 3 years support and straight Ubuntu LTS has 5 years.
What I am wondering is that what this has meant in the past is that I have used straight Ubuntu LTS and downloaded the Xfce desktop from the repository. This in theory should give me the 5 years support from vanilla Ubuntu, but how is that different from Xubuntu? Why would anybody sacrifice 2 years of support for the official Xubuntu distribution rather than simply download an Xfce desktop on a vanilla Ubuntu?

Everything from the 'main' repository has 5 years of support, you cannot load xubuntu-desktop (or anything xfce) from 'main' as it comes from 'universe' (community supported), so those packages are not supported with the five years of support (only packages from 'main'
