On a fresh install of Xubuntu it boots into grub. I then select Ubuntu to boot.
I just came from an Ubuntu install and want to make sure it erased it all.
Secondly there was gnome-services selected on the start menu. Is it ok to disable that?
I may want a text editor called gedit for autosave. (or something else)
Thanks

If you reinstalled and didn't keep /home then it should be complete overwritten.

I would leave it enabled if you want any Gnome apps such as Gedit.

If that's what you want, install it.
sudo apt update && sudo apt install gedit

Alright thanks a lot! sounds good
I like that this Os is a bit lighter weight/faster and I was using Vnc well before.

about autosave, not sure what method have gedit, but Xfce native editor Mousepad have option in menu "Edit/Preferences/File/Session Restore", where you can select restore last if unsaved or if saved or always...
if you set always and you have:
- new file, unnamed/unsaved with some text
- previous saved file where you add some text but not save it
and quit (or reboot/crash computer), then after Mousepad reopen you see all previous tabs, for already saved you see "*" before filename indicated new content is not saved to file, for unsaved you see "*Untitled XY"...
whole "trick" is that Mousepad in backgroud autosave content of all tabs to ${HOME}/.local/share/Mousepad/ from which restore it...
