@newonlinux  You can uninstall any unwanted software, I'm sure Jerry wouldn't mind as that is the essence of linux, making the system your own......

To remove icons of uninstalled software look for the .desktop file for that particular program and move or delete if you don't intend to reinstall.

the .desktop files can be found in a hidden folder, namely .local/share/applications in your home folder or /usr/share/applications.

I suggest create a folder in your home folder such as "old-progs" and move these .desktop files there, then if you choose to reinstall you can move them back :)

Now I understand. Manjaro is simpler to settup and install apps, but I like more litelinux.
And apps are here much faster starting and viber is more stable.
Pitty i cant here uninstall all unwanted software (remove icons from menus),
,because I like clean and little as posible system can be  :)

@newonlinux  I think you will find Manjaro has an advantage on Ubuntu in the AUR (Arch User Repository). Simply put an ordinary user like ourselves will have downloaded the program, installed it with all it's dependencies/tweaks and then created an installation package which is submitted to the Arch devs and if good enough, added to the AUR. Hence the one-click solution.

Ubuntu only has it's main and partner repositories and doesn't allow users to submit packages like that. So if it ain't in the ubuntu repos we are stuck with doing the complicated install ourselves.

Oh look like there is problem, this installation is much complicated for us new linux users, and on manjaro dont have problem
of that kind, look like ubuntu distros need another aproach.
Thx in any case.

Btw maybe is there some connection with bug on my system, when I uninstal unwanted software
for example simple-scan icon in menus stay. But on other distro always icon are removed on uninstall.

That's because we rename many Menu names to make it easier for people to understand linux programs. Linux Lite is a gateway OS, for Windows refugees, we don't expect linux people to go messing with our heavily modified DE, removing default apps.

Update
Look like I find some connection, when I install playonlinux my viber now disapear.
I download viber from download.cdn.viber.com/cdn/desktop/Linux/viber.deb and for install it I use only
right click and istall.

I installed Viber and Playonlinux, no problems.

@newonlinux
Hi there, just quick though. Have you installed Linux Lite on a hard drive or using it from USB directly?
If from USB, it's called the "Live" version and it is like running from a DVD and changes are not kept after a reboot.
I read that you can install to another USB key if you have two but I have never tried myself.

Cheers!
