Hello,
I would like to try and use Linux Lite for an older PC dedicated to feeding a Television.
It would be cool to have a pop-up software keyboard that I could control via mouse.

I don't think Linux Lite comes with any software keyboard by default
I installed the Maliit software Keyboard - but can't figure out how to get it running.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Do we need this? Other settings can be easily added to the 3 existing settings.

Its been 7 long years since I've been on lite, and I'm back to say Hi again. I had been using mostly Arch based distro's for a while on this older machine. I have several desktops and one laptop which are all somewhere around 8 to 10 years old now. Anyway, Lite is the only thing that would install and work flawlessly for me. Even pure Debian continuously failed to install at various points of the installation. I tried installing pure Arch a few times, and even though I had a a working XFCE desktop in the end, I could never get it to automatically connect to the network via ethernet cable without having to modprobe tg3 to get it going upon each bootup. Even after trying all the recommended fixes described in the Arch wiki, I got fed up and quickly moved away from Arch all together. I've used MX Linux in the past, and although a good distro, it almost seems too much bloat for my taste. Lite seems to strike a good balance down the middle, with most of what you would need out of the box without being too bloated. Loving the Lite tweaks and software management you guys have incorporated into the distro. All together, I'm very pleased with how this distro is running on my system after nearly nothing else worked, and I've tried a lot of them. Good job Lite team, you have an excellent little distro that looks and feels nice, and just plain works without fuss or muss. Keep up the good work.
Regards,Mike

schönen nachmittag zusammen,
Seit ein paar Tagen habe ich die neue Linux Lite Version auf meinem PC,womit ich auch zufrieden bin bis auf
das drucken...kann weder korrekt ausdrucken noch Scans speichern. Es wird komischerweise nur im Miniformat ausgedruckt....
Woran könnte das liegen?  Der Drucker (Canon TS 5050 series) ist über USB angeschlossen,nicht über Wlan.
Vorher druckte der Drucker normal aus (anderes Betriebssystem)

I switched from Lubuntu to Linux Lite 5.2 about 6 months ago and, barring one minor hiccup, it has been working perfectly for me. I read here about the improvements and additions in 5.4, but none of them seem important to me. Since all is well with my 5.2, is there any real reason to upgrade to 5.4?

And, am I correct in thinking that all the updates that I have done since starting with LL 5.2 still has me on 5.2, NOT 5.4?

I recently tried reviving an Old PC that we hadn't used before by installing Linux Lite on it. It's been functioning alright, but the wifi stability is absolutely bogus. There are times were it just gives up searching for other networks, disabling the use of wifi until I decide to reboot the PC, making it a huge pain in the neck. I am aware my computer's capabilities are limited, but I want to at least make it so It can maintain a healthy signal when connecting to the internet. The router doesn't appear to be the problem, as other devices from the same room as the PC can access it too? Is it the driver? The wifi card? The pc was from a long time ago, 2009 I think, so could this be a factor?

Powered by Dual-Core Intel Pentium E5300

Having a great number rsynch images in timeshift seems to prevent lite tweaks from locating kernels safely removable. After trimming down the saved snapshot list in timeshift old kernels can removed with no problem.
