Ubuntu
Install and test the Python 3-compatible version of Lubuntu Software Center
Lubuntu Software Center (LSC) was originally created as a way to provide a solution to the needs of Lubuntu to users to filter the list of available applications down to the low resource options: https://launchpad.net/lubuntu-software-center
With Ubuntu's change to Python 3, a compatible version needed to be created. That solution is now available in a ppa: https://code.launchpad.net/~lubuntu-dev/lubuntu-software-center/python3
- install Lubuntu (use a virtual machine, where applicable)
- install LSC from the ppa
- use LSC to browse for, install, and remove packages
- especially see if you can find non-Lubuntu packages, like, say, compiz!
- report bugs to the Launchpad page
- briefly report on your experiences in a comment
