You gotta have thick skin folks.
(abuse deliberately left in to give you a feel for some of the kind of emails I get)
Still want to develop and maintain your own OS?

This one's a bit different. You also can expect to get emails telling you to do things you've already done

On average you can expect between 2 - 6 abusive emails like this per month.
I made this along with a desktop icon to install Steam silently with a notification saying it is doing it and when it is done. I thought I would share the script to make it easier for someone to do it. The desktop launcher I am sure anyone can make so I am not including it. This is only for 18.04 based and up. You can adjust for using with 16.04 based.
#!/bin/bash
notify-send --expire-time=10000 'Hello SuperGamer User' 'This is silently installing the Steam client, please be patient'
pkexec apt install steam --yes --assume-yes
rm -f /home/*/Desktop/Steam*
notify-send --expire-time=10000 'Hello SuperGamer User' 'Congratulations, the install has finished'
I am a new Linux Lite user and also new to Linux. I attempted to install the most recent version on 12/1/19 and received error 5 input/output error faulty cd/dvd or hard disk.
- I have an older desktop computer with 4 fixed disks in it (120 GB, 200 GB, 500 GB, 1 TB).
- The hard disk in question was a 200 GB fixed disk with nothing on it and I let the installer repartition (wipe it out option.)
- I tried it two more times using different fixed disks and trying different options from the installer, all ended in the same error.
- I burned the ISO to a DVD using a Windows machine (the one I am trying to update will soon be a former Windows PC.)
- I sent my hardware info to the online database, but I do not know what it is recorded under.
Could it be the DVD? I looked at many posts before posting but could not find anyone describing this error. Some similar errors indicated creating the ISO using a Linux machine. If I need to create the install device using a Linux machine, how do I do that when I don't have one yet? ;D Rhetorical question, I know, but I do not have one available to me so I can't do that.
The computer was given to me and was working fine until the Windows updates became too much to bear. It is currently in between being a Linux computer and a Windows computer since the first LL install wiped out the Windows install on the 200 GB drive. (No worries on that, I am glad it is gone!!) But, communicating info about the desktop is a little tougher until I can get it resolved. I am at work right now and the desktop is at home.
If I need to provide more technical detail about my desktop please let me know what it is and I can find out. I really want to use Linux Lite and I am pretty technical (depending on who you compare me to) but a complete noob on Linux.
Thanks in advance,

If the current state of Open Source software corresponds with our understanding of Freedom in the digital realm, I wonder what kind of spawn would produce our understanding of Justice?
Freedom and Justice, do they actually go along together?
Can anyone tell me if they told people about this software before they distributed it?

Help Me
Hi,
I have a Dell Vostro 15 3000 series laptop. It worked perfectly until today. I have the latest Linux Lite version and have installed updates today.
Immediately after the updates, my touchpad stopped working. I tried various solution I found on Google, none works.
Hello. I hope you'all are good.
I posted this same topic in the Spanish section but the help I got didn't work.
You'll see, I'm a newbe not with Linux Lite, but with Linux. So I'm really lost.
I need help by establishing the brightness control keys to my laptop. My computer is a Compac Presario CQ42 and it has the keys F2 and F3 as default to adjust the bright, but now in this distro it isn't working.
I found a "solution" in here:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/174770/i...brightness
But it didn't work, I mean, I think I have a problem with my fn key, because I can establish the keys, but then it doesn't work.
By other side, if some of you know how to establish the keys Super + (arrows) to move the window to the sides of the screen I will thank you the double 
;D .
I thank you a lot.
