  Installing software still needs to run "dpkg --configure -a" command
Posted by: Gordonbp - 01-20-2021, 11:51 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (3)

I was trying to install Zoho Notebook from a deb file and got the dreaded "there's another installer running" error. I looked up the forum and found a post from FOUR years ago, about the same error on v 3

Why has this not been fixed in V5?

  Wine and associated apps
Posted by: arky217 - 01-18-2021, 06:27 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (2)

When I search for wine in synaptic package manager,
I find quite a number of applications such as
wine-stable, wine, wine64, wine-menu-linuxlite, etc.

Which ones do I need to install in order to run some
relatively simple Windows programs ?

Also, do I need to install steam as well ?

  Advocating Linux to windows users - what to improve ?
Posted by: Sprintrdriver - 01-17-2021, 08:03 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (4)

Hi LL folks.
Because I've used Linux Lite and think its definitely one of the best distros for newcomers from windows world, when I do mention Linux as an alternative for a sluggish windows installation, LL is always mentioned in my alternatives.
I'm a frequent user in the Toms Hardware forum, and not to seldom I see people complaining of poor performance from thir windows computers, and I try to read between lines to consider if this is a person that may be worth spending time trying to convince to switch to Linux.
Here is such a post at hardware forum:https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/is-it-win-10-or-dell-slow-start-locks-up-etc.3680531/
The OP here is a person that I consider can be one that considering switching to Linux.

What I really want from this is - if you read the #5 (that's me) - and let me know if you think this is a good approach, can post like this improve somehow? I want to get better in advocate Linux to people.
I also - of course - have a pretty good feeling about what people are not receptive for talking about Linux, so I won't push it too hard either. Maybe I shouldn't mention that so much in the post mentioned?

Cheers
