...Linux Lite has proven that you can "have your cake and eat it too," so to speak. No longer does it have to be a trade-off of lost performance to achieve a newbie-friendly GUI.
And, again, it's not about getting a positive or negative feedback, it's about getting a feedback at all. Also a "declined" is a valuable feedback
Ideas getting lost on the forum in between all the discussions. They might get lost for good or lead to double posts.Posting ideas without getting feedback is not very encouraging. Even getting a "decline" is much better then talking to a brick wall.
So the question would be how ideas could be consolidated in one place and their status shown? Would it be a separate category with all ideas extracted from all over the forum and each single one with a voting possibility to also give the developer some indication about priorities for users/forum members? Or using a different platform like GitHub or even something like uservoice.com. Although the latter wouldn't be free.
I enjoy reading the things mentioned on this thread. And would like to remind people if you find anything lacking for Linux Lite as a whole we are always open to suggestions and small aditions to help make things easier for users. As one of the devs/contributors of sorts I'm always open to expanding the things we can offer. Just post these ideas in the proper place so we can better track them.
For me... "Quality", Not Quantity
you mention forum size: you say the other communities are better as they are larger, LL having 'fewer regulars'.
There are other distros' out there aiming for Windows users making it easier for them. Distro's like Zorin, Linux Mint and many more. So, no. Not only LL is aiming for "Windows refugees" but also other distro's. The only point left here now is indeed the learning curve issue. Which distro will these "Windows refugees" learn the quickest the use? My point here is, the easier the lay-out, the more out-of-the-box a distro is, the lesser drivers to install the better it is, that distro will be the winner.
