Hello! I installed LinuxLite on an old Ideapad 300S. Here's my minimalist desktop.

I replaced the panel icons with plain circles whose colors match the programs.

Yellow is the menu:

Cyan is the file explorer:

Orange is Firefox (installed from a PPA):

Red is Textmaker word processor:

Brown is Synaptic package manager, and black is the terminal:

The rest of the indicators (network, volume, etc) are on a second, hidden panel on the right.

My laptop's specs:

I am amazed at how fast LinuxLite runs with such limited resources! Everything works perfectly! Even Netflix runs smoothly on Firefox and Chrome. Amazing!


This is wonderfully creative. Color coded panel icons would be quite covenient when a teaching situation involves a language barrier. Very nicely done.
