I actually got as far as 'Lite Tweaks', where his criticisms of this were the final nail in the coffin for this video, at least for me ...
64bit OS (32-bit on Samsung netbook) installed in Legacy mode on MBR-formatted SSDs (except pi which uses a micro SDHC card):
2017 - Raspberry pi 3B (4cores) ~ [email protected] - LibreElec, used for upgrading our Samsung TV (excellent for the task)  
2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ [email protected] - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom [email protected] - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work

Instead of posting what you might expect to be a positive review, I thought I'd add this video here. Unfortunately the reviewer is clueless as to our approach, and who this OS is for.

- 'Why we need links to Thunar at 3 different points, I have no idea' Correct sir, you have no idea. 'Why have a Trash icon' this one nearly made me spit out my coffee at the time. XFCE by default, provides the option for a Trash icon.

- 'Settings is referred to as Control panel, that's a little odd' not if your target audience are Windows users, just another example of a reviewer doing little to no research on the topic, before addressing the topic.

That's just the first 3 minutes, the train wreck of misinformation and presumption without fact continues on for just under 30 mins. For a channel that has taken 6 years to attract a meager 1k subscribers, is safe to say he's not lighting up the 'Nix' world with fantastic content.

One of the comments by the reviewer - 'It looks as if the Lite devs are trying to compete with MX...' We don't compete with other distributions, we target Windows users.

I for one, welcome alternative reviews, so long as those reviews are done with an understanding of the OS's approach to layout and options.

At this point I'd usually say, 'Enjoy the video' but, yeh, well.
