...I'm dying to ask this (though I'm afraid to ask, because of the heated debates, controversy everywhere  :'(  )


Jerry and staff:
What is your take on the Systemd v/s Non-Systemd choice?
Where is LinuxLite headed as to this, and why?

Hello,

I am running LL 3.9 on an old netbook that does not support 64 bit software versions. This precludes me from upgrading to LL 4.x.

I want to update from Filezilla 3.15 to the more recent version but cannot find a recipe for doing that. At one time I was able to download the TAR file from the Filezilla web site, unpack it into ~/bin/filezilla folder, change the name to filezila and it would run. but that no longer works and I can't find the web site that provided those instructions.

Any help, including a link to instructions on how to compile the newest version from scratch will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks for reading.

Tom

Hello, after not being able to use my IP due to an error I decided to shutdown my host, using the command "Halt", but I did it without the knowledge of how to turn it back on. I have tried to research ways for me to do it but I can't find it. I can access the PuTTy for the host and the WINSPC for it neither, on WINSPC it says "Stack trace:

I would appreciate if you assist me with this.

I recently downloaded a Windows update while I was in Lite and thought I could transfer it to my Windows drive.  This was vs shutting down and booting into Windows.  I mounted the Windows drive and then pasted the file into the Windows drive.  I did a cut/paste and I could see that the file was moved.  I then unmounted the drive and went on with my business.  Went I eventually went into Windows and checked for the file, I was nowhere to be found.  What do I need to do to get this to work?

Thanks

Hello Everyone, I am confused to choose linux over windows. which one is more secure and what the exact prince and duration of the license. I know about windows pricing i.e Microsoft License ranges from 70$ to 200$ for its standard versions, and can only be installed on the ‘n’ number of computers as specified in your purchase and OS comes with the Microsoft License, which does not give users access to the source code. Can anyone know about linux and tell me head to head comparison between linux and windows?

Is there a way to move a window to the left or right similar to the Windows-Key+Left-Key or Windows-Key-Right-Key in Windows 7 and above? I am used to doing that all the time in the Windows world but in LL I have to do it by hand. Also, is there a way to see all the screens open at once? (something similar to Mission Control on a Mac).
Thanks 

This is Patomas, I've been registered a little bit but I had been gone for months. As others, COVID-19 had me locked down at home so I decided to roll up my sleeve and take it upon myself installing Linux Lite. I did extensive research before deciding to choose this distro. What I found is that it's the right combination of lightweight and functionality that I needed along with compatibility and user friendliness (if that is a word). My first attempt burst into flames and I couldn't really make it work. I was up against a very locked down corporate Windows box. In the end I was able to install Fedora alongside Windows 10 but that's not what I wanted. I decided to give new life to my 10-year old Sony Vaio laptop. It has Windows 7 and no UEFI (that was part of the problem the first time around). I went through the installation and to my surprise it worked the first time around! What I have to say about Linux Lite is that makes my old laptop perform as fast as my newer (4-year old) corporate Lenovo, sometimes faster (McAfee can slow down the faster computers). So far I a happy as a clam and working away. There are things that are going to be a challenge (Citrix anyone) but others work right out of the box. That's all, I hope everyone is safe and thank you for the forum.
