Linux Lite Forums

So I recently made the decision to expand my horizons and find a Linux distro that would be an alternative to the horror that is Windows 8/10.

Through out my life I've primarily been a Windows user, currently using Windows 7. However I'm not a 100% newbie, as I've used Unix/Linux before, and my job in is software development (though when it comes to Linux, at this point I'm more "aware" and "informed", than I am "experienced").

Long story short though, after previewing several live discs I narrowed it down to Linux Lite 2.4 and promptly installed it, I've been using it for about a week now, and so far I've been very happy with it. Everything is laid out well and intuitive, and even installing custom software/hardware has been a breeze.

I'm currently using this setup as a retro game development workstation, using SDL, CodeLite, Plastic SCM, Aseprite, SunVox, and sfxr, and things couldn't be smoother.

Hi Exorcist, your name reminds of that computer of long ago when computing was fun and hobby.
This is a great OS. Have fun like in old days.

Hi and Welcome...

Thanks for the ref to "SunVox", this is new to me... and me likes it,
Looks really cool even to an oldie like me

Yeah SunVox is pretty awesome. It's not as complete as other DAWs (actually more of a Tracker than a full out DAW), but it is super easy to setup and use and runs on a variety of platforms. And for my purposes it does a great job of generating retro style chiptune sounds, plus my Akia MPK249 MIDI keyboard worked with it out of the box, no setup or fuss.
