Hi
Being confused with what the different applications are for in Linux Lite I have made a list of what the do .

I started with the list given in DistroWatch.com: Linux Lite and searched for the name of the apps on the internet
If you have any comments let me know  I compiled it but I am not an expert, Is the list I have used accurate as to what apps come pre-installed and the descriptions I have used OK .

I thought it might be of interest to anyone out there who has a quest for information
