Title: Another new Linux Lite user
Post by: Swamp Rat on October 14, 2020, 10:03:00 PM
Greetings, fellow Linux Lite users,

I am a retired advertising and architectural photographer in my late 70's living in Midwest USA.

Although I had heard of Linux for years before, I got my first exposure to Linux 6 1/2 years ago, when Microaquish abandoned Windows XP. I had then an old Pentiom II desktop which was too wimpy for Windows 7, so I decided to load Lubuntu 12.04 onto it, to see what Linux was like. Within one week, I was doing everything on that computer. Then it got replaced with a Pentium 4, which went through every Lubuntu LTS version through 18.04.

Since I wasn't thrilled with Lubuntu 20.04, I tried a few other distros until I found Linux Lite. Tried it, liked it, and stayed with it for the past couple of months. Now I think I have almost the perfect computer OS for me. The 5-year support is wonderful, and the OS is superb.

I have added a few programs that aren't included normally and have made this OS almost exactly what I would make it if I knew how to do all that gets it to that point of nearly perfect. Maybe a few more tweaks will get it to perfection for me.

I am looking forward to continued happy computing with Linux Lite.
