... Things like the dreaded ¨terminal¨ really should be saved for much more in depth tasks and as a last resort for most users. ...

Valtam... Do you think that it is fair to mislead people by I quotes like "The goal of Linux Lite is to introduce Windows users to an intuitively simple, alternative operating system. Linux Lite is a showcase for just how easy it can be to use linux". IT ISN'T... when you come from a background where if you want to install a driver you simply search for it download it and it executes itself to a world of distros, repros and terminals. ...Maybe this project is a little too small at this moment in time to accommodate and coax along a complete Linux newby like me. So, I'll leave you to it and Wish you Well.Good Bye & Thank You!
We are a very young distro in the linux world with a long way to go, you have to start somewhere. I'm very pleased with the feedback we've had from new windows users coming over to linux. It suggests we are on the right track. In any project there is room for improvement, and we will continue to look for even more ways to make the transition to linux easier for people. If anyone here is unhappy with the level of support at this stage of our growth you are more than welcome to try another distro with a larger, longer established community. For the size that we are and the fact that most of the development team are either full time studying, working or have families to raise, speaks volumes to their dedication of spending 100's of hours on development in their sparse free time, and then giving it away for free.
Maybe a goal for Linux Lite would be to do away with the need to use the Terminal?
