Title: New version comments
Post by: rmcellig on June 04, 2014, 09:34:32 AM

I have been away from LinuxLite for a while eagerly awaiting this new version 2. I am trying it on two HP laptops and an old Dell 3000 desktop. First impressions:

1. Easy install
2. Feels solid and fast
3. It shows that a lot of time, care and considerations went into this release.
4. The Whisker menu looks great and it is editable!!
5. I have Crunchbang, Lubuntu 14.04 and Linux Lite on my Dell 3000. So far LinuxLite is really impressing me.
6. Love the additional software you can install

I think that's it for now.

I do have an issue with audio recording. Not sure if it is Pulseaudio or something else. I'll keep an eye and ear on it and post to a new thread if need be.

This new forum looks great as well!!

I can't believe I am actually running it on my old Dell 3000, and it's pretty snappy too!

Hello!

So far, 2.0 has been working pretty well for me, also. The only challenge has been getting Bluetooth to work consistently.

Bluetooth seems to be broken in all the Ubuntu 14.04 versions, but the tricks required to get it going are different from adapter to adapter, and from machine to machine. This makes it nearly impossible to establish some kind of standardized method for getting it to work. I hope the Launchpad guys work it out soon...
