Mythbuntu is by no means a "partial" operating system.  It is Xubuntu
with MythTV installed on top of that.  So it uses XFCE4 as the
desktop, which is a lower resource user than the normal Unity or Gnome
desktops and in particular does not need the compiz driver that is
required for Unity that uses lots of video resources.  But the
packages that are installed on Mythbuntu are otherwise pretty much the
same as Xubuntu - it is a full operating system, just a different
flavour than Ubuntu.
