Had not seen the review but tried Lubuntu and have read reviews about the others.
5. Puppy Linux: "Puppy suffers from lack of compatibility with major Linux softwares." So why did it even make the list.
4. Xubuntu: "... With ... dock that Mac fans everywhere will appreciate, ..." As a Mac user, I found out it was not too difficult to make a Mac look dock with Linux Lite because it uses XFce too. When deciding between trying Xubuntu and Lubuntu, I read Xubuntu had a lot more system requirements than Lubuntu or Linux Lite.
3. Linux Lite: "... if you’ve used Linux in the past and have some general knowledge on its usage then it’s probably best to skip this one in favor of those yet to be mentioned. As Lite, while incredible, isn’t quite up to par with the next two on this list."
I have some general (but limited) knowledge of Linux and disagree with this statement. As Goldilocks said, I found Linux Lite just right. ;D
2. Bodhi Linux: "... I’ve spent countless hours tinkering away on Bodhi, crafting different desktops in my stead." If you have the time you can do the same with LL. DistroWatch stated "The default Bodhi system is light -- the only pre-installed applications are Midori, LXTerminal, EFM (Enlightenment File Manager), Leafpad and Synaptic -- but more software is available via AppCenter, a web-based software installation tool." For newbies, I think Linux Lite giving basic programs needed and with generic names is a better idea. 8)
1. Lubuntu: I tried it before Linux Lite and found it boring.

One not mentioned was LXLE. Looks good and reviews are good but comes with too many programs. (I still do not know how to use all the ones that came with Linux Lite.) Why waste time uninstalling programs you do not need or know what they are. Better to add when you figure out you want another program.
