How did you find out about Linux Lite?

(1/9) > >>

Wirezfree:
Started using Windows at Work with Windows 2.1.
Over many years I have flirted with Linux on and off, but I was never really comfortable with it.

Early this year something peaked my interest again, I played around with Zorin(I really liked that), Linux Mint(Good, But heavy), CentOS & Fedora(To much hardwork)
Then whilst looking at some YouTube Videos I came across Linux Lite, I think a "Puppyworld Video"
I gave it a go, have it on 2 PC's and a Laptop, I'm still here now, and it's working out great for me.

My only issue at present,
Integrated WiFi(RTL8188CE)on an HP Laptop, very slow and intermittent connection.
Googling shows I'm not alone with this RTL8188CE issue.

I had Windows XP and like many was looking to move on.  I had read in magazines of Linux and thought I’d try this.  I started with Gnome/Ubuntu 11 and then 12 for about a year on a dual boot.  At first I was amazed at being able to install though found it difficult to add the printer and skype.  Then found that Gnome / Ubuntu  was just getting bigger and bigger taking longer to load and this reminded me of Windows.  I was looking for something smaller / quicker so looked on the net and in youtube for alternative distro’s.  I looked at Xububtu, Kububtu and also Mint.  These were fine but not quite what I was seeking.  Then I came across Linux Lite tried it and was very impressed.  Despite being based on Ubuntu 14 it was simpler to operate and to install Skype and my printer.  It really is terrific using this replacing an old ex Windows XP machine.  Thanks for such a great product.

I love LL2. But do all of you have stable icons on the desktop? That was not perfect here. So I wait a little. :)

Make that six.  :)

Watched both of Spatry's Linux Lite playlists before installing what has become my favourite distro.

I was looking for a lightweight DE that wasn't Xubuntu or Lubuntu.

I used distrowatch.org and found Linux Lite and was also recommended it by people at linuxquestion.org and decided to give it a try.

Really like it. Now just trying to get 'aero snap' or a similar feature to work.
