Just a heads up.  I get a lot of laptops in my shop and its hard to find one that works 100% or almost 100% with linux right off the bat.

Just wanted to let you know that the Lenovo 13 AMD Ryzen 4750 Pro works flawlessly with LL.

Even some of the dell ones they say are fully compatible are not but this beast is.

I am seriously considering doing this. Stripped down version of Lite where the user gets to choose:

Web browser
Email client
Firewall
Office Suite
Partitioner
PDF viewer
Media player
Photo editor
Photo manager
Scan software
Back up software
etc

Base files and drivers will stay intact as per usual - to ensure wide hardware compatibility.
Start up and shutdown as you could imagine are ridiculously quick.

Should I do this? Main Linux Lite release will remain unchanged.

Hola,
Acabo de instalar Lite 5.4, en la instalación elegí Teclado Español y Latinoamerica.
Todo el lado izquierdo del teclado va perfecto, el problema surge sobre la derecha donde están las teclas con el simbolo azul que al apretar la tecla funcion se escribe como sugiere, ejemplo
Quiero escribir "K" y escribe 2
Para poder escribir "K" debo presionar la tecla "fn" y sin soltar la "K"

No se como cambiarlo.
Espero me puedan ayudar,

So youtube changed their api or something and the youtube-dl version in LL 5.4 (2020.03.24-1) doesn't work anymore.  This version is over a year old and out of date.  There is a new 2021.05.16 which is the current version.

How would I install this new version on my system when it is not in the repo provided by LL?  Do I have to uninstall the repo version and build the current version manually?  Any help would be appreciated.

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
