I recently came across an article claiming that Xubuntu performs better for gaming than Lubuntu. Is that really true? What can I do to optimize Lubuntu and maximize its gaming performance? Are there specific settings I should disable or adjust? Thanks in advance for your help!

If you're looking for a change, I'd recommend trying CachyOS. It's optimized for fresh experiences, and many folks say it's a great fit for gaming.
Honestly, the desktop environment you choose shouldn't significantly affect gaming performance. Most DEs, including Lubuntu and Xubuntu, have similar performance levels. You might want to check out a video from The Linux Experiment that compares them for clarity.
I hope that's the right video! I've heard that Cinnamon doesn't perform as well, though.
That’s what I thought too, but the article made me question everything.
Does switching from Cinnamon to LXQt make it as lightweight as Lubuntu?
