Linux Lite part II

[mdiemer]

Welcome! You made a good choice. I have tried around 20 Linux systems, plus a couple BSD's, and Linux Lite is without question one of the very best. I'm using 3.8 due to constraints posed by my onboard graphics, and it works perfectly, and is still supported another year. Hard to find a Linux system still fully supported from 2016, and still working flawlessly. It's the one Linux I have never removed from at least one hard drive. It just always works, and is as you said user friendly. whenever I boot up, I think, "Good ole' Linux Lite. thank god for it."

This is Patomas, I've been registered a little bit but I had been gone for months. As others, COVID-19 had me locked down at home so I decided to roll up my sleeve and take it upon myself installing Linux Lite. I did extensive research before deciding to choose this distro. What I found is that it's the right combination of lightweight and functionality that I needed along with compatibility and user friendliness (if that is a word). My first attempt burst into flames and I couldn't really make it work. I was up against a very locked down corporate Windows box. In the end I was able to install Fedora alongside Windows 10 but that's not what I wanted. I decided to give new life to my 10-year old Sony Vaio laptop. It has Windows 7 and no UEFI (that was part of the problem the first time around). I went through the installation and to my surprise it worked the first time around! What I have to say about Linux Lite is that makes my old laptop perform as fast as my newer (4-year old) corporate Lenovo, sometimes faster (McAfee can slow down the faster computers). So far I a happy as a clam and working away. There are things that are going to be a challenge (Citrix anyone) but others work right out of the box. That's all, I hope everyone is safe and thank you for the forum.
