Hi Everyone,
My Name is Roman I'm a Student of History from Austria and I have switched my entire Workflow over to Linux in 2018 because I didn't like any of Apples Computers since 2013 because even the professional line by then started to become unupgradeable Trash with a sup par lifespan. I had been working on and with Macs for 10 years at that point and going back to a Non-*nix System like Windows was just not in it for me.

So I stayed. Built an entirely liquid cooled Ryzen Workstation with a 1080TI on which after some Distro-Hopping I decided to run ElmentaryOS.

My Laptop (A 2015 MBPro Retina 13") had seen a number of DualBoot Solutions over the last year (Elementary OS+ MacOS, OpenSuse+MacOS, Fedora+ MacOS, Ubuntu + MacOS) Mac OS wise I stayed on 10.11 because all the Operating Systems after El Capitan lacked Stability and were crammed with useless features. When my battery let me know that it had only 70% of its past capacity and the difference became noticeable I wiped the disk and decided to go for something lightweight, optimized and simple which I could then customize to fit my needs. So I went with Linux Lite. Which thanks to a new Theme and a Plank Dock now looks and feels a lot like Cupertinos OS. And yes I love dark themes:


I use it primarily for Writing, editing photos, doing research (although most of the big workloads -like batch downloading- are taken over by my workstation) and coding on the go. I work with Processing and have been for a number of years, Bash, Python and I do some RAD development using Lazarus, which is essentially a FOSS Delphi.

I'm very much looking forward to be part of the community Thx for having me ;D

I have LiLi 3.8 and 4.0 LIVE on 16gb sticks and they have always updated ok. I formatted Fat32 a new 16gb stick and installed the 4.4 LIVE via Universal USB Installer and it installed with errors. However, at one point it was stuck asking me for a passwor and username--for which I has no idea what to enter--since the Announcement page said u/s & p/w were not used. So then I reformatted Fat32 and used Rufus to install. It too installed with no errors. I used my 4.0 LiLi to change the partition to the full 14.5gb usable.I changed my repo mirror to the US West and I still can not complete the update. After it shows the log, I look at System/Partition and I show 1.8gb used and the rest Unused. If I use File Sytem, it show 60mb Free. So what is the difference. Did I not really add the Unallocated Partition to the Allocated part? Anyway--here is my log with most of the error free stuff removed. I have used sudo apt autoremove numerous times before trying to update. I have also installed Chrome as my default browser.

Hopefully you can point me in the right direction,
Thanks, Ron

Con ni chi wah,
Suggestions needed, heres the situation:A friend of mine liked my Linux Lite installation and tried to install Linux Lite on an old nc6400 HP Laptop (1GB, 80GB HDD, had WinXP). He tried LL4 but wireless card didn't show (after updates and drivers scan either). He's pretty sure it has a WiFi card inside but it's really old so...

He brought me the beast. I dont see a WiFi card in the BIOS but lots of laptops don't show it there either.

I tried live booting 3.8 and even 2.8 wihout success on wireless.
I then tried current/previous gen versions of Bodhi, Mint, Zorin, DFLinux, Deepin, Manjaro, PepperMint and Porteus. MX would not boot on it.Results vary. Some show the Bluetooth adapter, some have the Wireless switch working but only for bluetooth.But, none see a Wireless card.Tried lspci/hardinfo, nothing found in listings.
EDIT : Forgot to mention that on Linux 3.8, I tried 10 different Kernels from 4.15 to 4.1, 4.1 had corrupted display - also tried 5.x (I don't remember version) and that didn't work, no boot).
EDIT2 : Everything was 32bits, because 1GB.

Laptop has some special antitheft screws (it was a company laptop) so it will be hard to open it.
Is there any other way/command than what I tried to be sure there IS a WiFi card in there?

After installing a software, is it possible to add a shortcut on the tool bar near the menu after "folder-firefox-files-terminal" ? or on the desktop?

During my test runs of 4.4, I was unable to type words using the right hand side of the keyboard until I figured out the Fn key was needed.  I suggest that somewhere prominently a warning about NumLk be displayed for new users before they attempt to install.

The issue would be setting up the log in password, which would be compromised by typing (and not seeing) the incorrect password due to the NumLk requirement.  This confusion could be quite daunting for newbies and the unaware.  Otherwise, except for the presence of Google everywhere, I love Linux Lite 4.4 and thank Jerry and all the other developers that have given us the beautiful, free operating system.

Hello,
I did install Visual C++ 2015 redistributable 64 bit
under Wine and linux Lite...
I can see/find normally all programs as they show
an icon on the desktop or find them under the C
virtual disk and the Windows Wine... program files...
But Visual C++ does not show any icon and cannot
be found anywhere under the Wine programs...
but it is there as when I take "remove" programs
from wine... there i can see it with all the other
installed programs...
How and where can I find my Visual C++ ???
Thank you very much
Greetings,
Fred

Need to make a start up item in session and start up to mount my two NAS drives.

They mount manually like this:

I did the following to manually mount drive, and they mount and show on the desktop;

I downloaded Linux Lite about a week ago based on some articles I read.  I was looking for a distro that was based on ubuntu, xfce default de and had an upgrade procedure in place that was simple.  I do not have the time anymore to chase down solutions to the myriad of Linux problems that I've experienced in the past with other distros.

Linux Lite is all that I was looking for and more.  Beautiful distro and it fully worked out of the box as I only had minimal customizing when install was done.  It's easy to see why LL is ranked #21 on Distrowatch.  My prediction is it will climb much higher.

Thanks devs.  Amazing os!

Hello, I was told it is advisable to use 32-bits versions of program when someone has a machine with 2 Go RAM even if the machine is 64-bits. Does that apply to linuxlite too? Should I put the firefox 32-bits version? In 64-bits, which is the one I am using now, it is not that slow, but just asking.
