I have a generic tablet device, not sure of the name brand,} Lenova { has some form of Lollipop or Lenova operating system? I was recently blind sided by an advertisement from WalMart, while on MY personal wifi at HOME surfing Ebay. SO I was wondering about wiping its brain and Installing Linux Lite, or a Puppy linux.
Any suggestions other? lower than .45 or 40 ACP?
thanks  and Hi to all been away Daryl KB5ZXM

Hi All:
I'm litewait and new to forum, but not LL, actually started that journey w/ 2.6. updates have always been a little buggy.  I have LL 3.4 on 5-10 machines, most very old HPs. I'm NOT comfortable using the terminal, guess that makes me goooey?
one of my desktops spit this back today it seems criptic but obviously not deadly. have encountered dpkg issues before... usually go away with a fresh install.  NEVER EVER discard your OS Disc DVD!!! AND keep your files on a thumb drive. This particular desktop is an ancient Dell===========================

In the past week, both of my computers running LL 3.6 64bit have gotten darker displays.  I checked with a friend running the same version, and he noticed the same thing.  We have Intel based integrated graphics cards. 


Again, it's a recent thing I noticed since about the middle of last week.  It could be updates related.  I wondered if anyone else noticed the same thing.

Hi everyone,

New Linux Lite user here. I have to say I am very impressed by how easy it has become to switch to Linux from Windows. Last time I tried was 15 years ago and I abandoned that pretty quickly after driver issues drove me nuts. This time around it was a breeze.
Anyway, I have installed Linux Lite on an old Acer Aspire laptop that I want to use as a HTPC. I installed Kodi 17.4 on it, and ran into serious crashing issues when using some plugins that stream content from the web (Youtube and Nederland24 plugins). This was fairly frustrating, since it seemed to happen only on the second time I opened Kodi after install. I could delete the .kodi folder and reinstall and everything was fine again, but the next time crashes started occurring again. After some searching, I found this thread (ignore the frustrated user vs developer fight), which pointed to this bug in Ubuntu 16.04, which has been solved in a later version. Updating the python cryptography and openssl packages to the Zesty versions, as suggested in the linked Kodi forum thread, solved the problems for me.
I have no idea how your policy is on matters like this, but since this seems to be a recognized bug in Ubuntu 16.04, would it be an idea to include these package updates in the automatic Linux Lite updates?

I've kept lite on three of my home machines (two laptops and a desktop) for three years now.  The laptops are dual boot win7 (survived the win10 onslaught)/lite and the desktop as lite/test linux os.  I'm still the point and click mouse input fellow, so no screen touch scrolling for me.  As having tried many other linux os's offered in distrowatch, I have not found one that offers the best balance between software bloat/minimalism with out of the box elegance that lite provides.  Keep it up!

Downloaded from synaptic. Version there fails to remove duplicates

https://askubuntu.com/questions/779502/f...delete-bug gives an earlier version to download. 
This has been an ongoing problem  - mentioned in this forum previously. 2015?

I was looking for Sigil and because I didn't see it in SS I assumed it was not available in Lite. After some time, I thought to go look in Synaptic and found it (though its an old version).

Is it safe to assume that not all software listed in SS are the only apps available for installation and one must always check Synaptic as well?

The other thing, other than going into Synaptic, could there be a way to tell the version of the apps in SS?
