IMO, Every linux install the audio equalizer is a must. Ubuntu Updates has the repository that I have used for about 2 years or so.
Dell Inspiron 1545, per previous post, dumped windows. 2.8 ghz processor, upgraded, 4 Gbs ram. Win 10 will not support 3d view on google maps. WTH? lol. While using 1.9 gigs of memory vs. Lites 1.2. Sorry, I had to throw that out there. Win 7 and 10 idle at about a gig at startup,lite is about a third of that.
3 years ago finally trashed windows 7 after finding Linux Lite 2. Update, for fun tried win 10, 3 months and done. Spare time and hdds. Updated win 10 to the fall creators edition, 2 hours 20 minutes, it rebooted to the same 1703 and asked me if I wanted to update. LOL. That hdd is now reformatted. I tried. Thanks to these guys and the developers of this distro. It just works.
Edimax usb mini wifi works fine per, rtl8192cu-fixes, but, upon reboot, I always have to re-insert the usb . Not a big deal but, curious. BTW, On the dell 1545 I own it nearly doubles the performance from the native B4312 sta or lp-phy drivers. On my rarely used Win 7 rig, identical performance. Thanks. And thanks for this distro, I have tried over 30 in 3 years and other than this minor issue, Lite has not failed me or anyone I have recommended it to.
Linux Lite since 2.0. Love it. I have 2 nagging issues involving broadcom wi-fi an realtek 8192cu drivers at startup. Where do i post these questions? Thanks.
Hey guys. I been going on an lil spree on apps. I love how a lot of the newer apps are getting better treatment. The fact of the matter is I have been wondering this. Last time I even brought this up in an fourm. They have said that the Deb file are too heavy unlike the snap packages. For me I can't tell the difference. I been also thinking Lite could benefit going to snap apps.
God not dead. He roaring like an lion.
I'm thinking of getting an cb radio and I been wanting to see if there an app. That can. Help me learn Morse code and help me get an speech to text format to make cumonicatioms easier to understand.
God not dead. He roaring like an lion.
When I finish installing on various donated computers I have always checked "Update Drivers", but other than one computer I have left the circle "Do not use the device" checked as it describes the device as and says the following:
Unknown:Unknown
this device is not working
O Using Processor microcode firmware for Intel CPIs from intel-microcode (proprietary)
O(this one has the blue dot) Do not use the device.
Should I be clicking on the upper option (using Processor...)?
I wasn't sure if I should be "accepting" and thus applying any and ALL suggested driver changes?
thanks,
Janet
this might be a dumb question, but here goes:
I have a youth who contacted me as his computer has a virus, he wondered if I had a Win 7 Pro disk and could reformat his computer. I’m meeting him Tuesday to show him LL 3.4 and if he likes it will load it as I do not want to get into doing the windows thing again - what a time and effort hog,
So I’m wondering:
1) if I can get into setup and change the boot order to USB first will LL start up if this computer does have a virus?
2) am I risking infecting my memory stick by doing so?
My rational is so that I can test drive LL to see if all works ok before using DBAN on the computer.
Thoughts or comments or advice?
Thanks,
Janet
Quote: Slax is a modern, portable, small and fast Linux operating system with modular approach and outstanding design. It runs directly from your USB flash drive without installing, so you can carry it everywhere you go in your pocket. Despite its small size, Slax provides nice graphical user interface and the only two programs everyone really needs: a Web browser and a Terminal.
Slax is now based on Debian, which gives you the ability to benefit from its entire ecosystem. Tens of thousands of prebuilt packages with applications, all within reach thanks to apt command.
Been using this from time to time over the years, ever since they used to have Iso builder site. Where one could build their own iso before downloading. Now dis-continued. I like it about as much as Puppy Linux.
