Hi all, just installed Linux Lite on one of the older boxes around here.
Other boxes run Zorin and Mint Mate which is my primary pc.
Since I wanted to escape Ubuntu due to their Snap intro I tried on this old box Debian, Sparky, Open BSD but all gave me problems which I needed to solve manually.
Since I don't want to fix everything under the hood anymore (spoiled with Mint) I decided to give Lite a try.
Last option was Mint XFCE but I like Lite so it will stay 
Hope to find interesting ideas again and probably some help if I want the easy way out.

Gr,

Erwin

So I've dabbled with Linux a little in the past, but never switched permanently. After having 4 paid copies of Windows 10 Pro de-activate on me I'm done. I should have done this after the second time. But I was stupid. What sucks is most of my steam library is Windows Games, but some work under Linux with Steam's "fixes". I've installed Wine to try some other games with. I mainly Play 7 Days To Die which has Linux support, but I get a little lag, but thats expected from what I've been reading. I'm on LinuxLite 5.2rc1 for now as when the new Ryzen chips drop next month I'll be building a new system and selling this old z97 based machine (i7-4790k).
I'm sure I'll be asking questions in the support thread. But so far everything is working fine. Dual monitors and all.

I have an acer extensa 5620 and i can only get 100mbps speed. On my lenovo thinkpad i had 340mbps with linux lite is there an update i could get for gigabit ethernet speed thanks.

Greetings, fellow Linux Lite users,

I am a retired advertising and architectural photographer in my late 70's living in Midwest USA.

Although I had heard of Linux for years before, I got my first exposure to Linux 6 1/2 years ago, when Microaquish abandoned Windows XP. I had then an old Pentiom II desktop which was too wimpy for Windows 7, so I decided to load Lubuntu 12.04 onto it, to see what Linux was like. Within one week, I was doing everything on that computer. Then it got replaced with a Pentium 4, which went through every Lubuntu LTS version through 18.04.

Since I wasn't thrilled with Lubuntu 20.04, I tried a few other distros until I found Linux Lite. Tried it, liked it, and stayed with it for the past couple of months. Now I think I have almost the perfect computer OS for me. The 5-year support is wonderful, and the OS is superb.

I have added a few programs that aren't included normally and have made this OS almost exactly what I would make it if I knew how to do all that gets it to that point of nearly perfect. Maybe a few more tweaks will get it to perfection for me.

I am looking forward to continued happy computing with Linux Lite.

I remote into another laptop with NoMachine and Teamviewer and the linux lite 5.0 is "session lock" and usually a press of the mouse brings me to the login screen. This time it wont go there. Is the a bug in this version of linux lite? Can anyone help figure it out?


thanks

Hey, I have an AsusTek usb wifi that does not seem to be turning on. I think it needs a driver. But I am not sure where to get it from. I have looked in the forum and have had no luck. The actual cd that comes with it says there is a driver for Linux but I don't know how to install it. Any help would be great
thanks

here is some info:

Help

Omdat LL 3.8 einde support nadert, ben ik een paar weken geleden overgestapt van LL 3.8 naar LL 5.0.
Ik gebruik een nogal oude HP 7800 desktop. LL 5.0 startte veel langzamer op dan LL 3.8 op deze desktop. Ik las ergens dat de kernel 5.4.0 veel zwaarder is dan vorige kernels zoals 4.15.0. Daarom heb ik nu LL 4.8 met deze laatste kernel geinstalleerd. Mijn systeem start nu veel sneller op. Ik ben hier heel tevreden mee!
Ik vroeg me af of het mogelijk is om LL 5.0 te draaien met b.v. kernel 4.15.0? Ik las wel dat een stap naar een nieuwere  en zwaardere kernel gemaakt kan worden. Maar is het omgekeerde ook mogelijk?
Is er iemand die mij kan helpen deze vraag te beantwoorden. Bij voorbaat dank.Paul.

A few weeks ago I switched from LL 3.8 to LL 5.0.
My old HP 7800 started up very slowly compared to LL 3.8. I found somewhere the remark that Ubuntu kernel 5.4.0 is much heavier than kernel 4.15.0. Therefore I stepped back from LL 5.0 to LL 4.8. This made my system start up much faster.
I wonder if it possible to run LL 5.0 using a kernel of the 4.x series such as 4.15.0.?

I had Linux mint on my old Craptop and when i tried to update the system it crashed.So i got rid of mint and installed Lite and it is working really well.And now i can update my Lite system with it not crashing.    (HAPPY DAYS).

Linux Lite considered one of the two best variants of Ubuntu by redditor, 'thefanum', near the bottom of this Pop!_OS thread:

Can anyone help please?
