There should be an option for users to browse the website with extra ads for supporting Linux Lite more strongly. I suggest we switch to Revcontent ads, as they allow us to choose what ads to see.

A reply would be appreciated.

Hello, my name is Jimmy and I am considering to install Linux Lite and I would like more information before making any decisions.

I have a newer computer:

• Housing = Lenovo ThinkPad T530 (laptop).
  
• CPU = Intel Core i7-3520M CPU @ 2.90GHz. Cores = 2. Enabled cores = 2. Threads = 4.
  
• Graphics = NVIDIA GF108M [NVS 5400M], 33 MHz.
  
• BIOS = Lenovo G4ETA6WW (2.66, UEFI), which is NVIDIA Optimus enabled (can do integrated, discrete or hybrid graphics).
  
• SSD:  System = 250 GB.  Data = 500 GB.
  

1. I want this computer to last me at least the next decade, as has my old computer (WinXP on Compaq Presario laptop, bought in 2005).
   
2. Professional audio, video and lighting control softwares for professional event & studio technology equipment, such as digital audio mixers, video mixers, lighting mixers, etc.
   
3. Multi-track digital audio recording, editing, mixing and playback (DAW/digital audio workstation).
   
4. Spreadsheet & Google Apps Script programming for large calculations that use iterative mathematical functions to find answers.  (The computer sits there spinning for a minute before finally coming up with an answer.)
   
5. Android app creation.
   
6. Video conferencing.
   
7. Run WinXP or Win7 in a virtual machine.
   
   

1. Does Linux Lite support NVIDIA Optimus out of the box?
   
2. Does LL support low-latency kernels for professional audio software environments, such as JACK?
   
3. Is it possible to reliably use JACK audio software (for realtime patching with low-latency) on LL?
   
4. Once the OS is set up, what risks are there regarding compatibility with future audio softwares and drivers?  (Can I just continue to use the OS for 10 years straight, like I did with XP, even after support ended?)
   
5. Can I reliably install professional audio, video and lighting control softwares which are not listed in the LL repository?  ...without the process being too complicated?
   
   

• Ubuntu Studio (LTS, based upon Xubuntu >> Ubuntu).  https://ubuntustudio.org/  My first choice, but unfortunately, this distro has several system bugs that really bother me (wifi fails when system errors occur, mouse disappears, software center crashes upon open rendering it unusable, etc.).
  
• Xubuntu (LTS, based upon Ubuntu).  Concerned about more of the same here, as Ubuntu Studio is based upon this.
  
• Manjaro (rolling releases, based upon Arch).  https://manjaro.org/  Very appealing, but concerned about 5+ years down the road...  Will this OS become too advanced for my computer?
  
• Linux Lite (LTS, based upon Ubuntu).  Can this actually do everything I want it to do?
  
  

Can I upgrade my Android tablet from 5.1 to 6.0 using these instructions http://neutab.com/info-detail.php?InfoId=13 using Linux Lite? Maybe with Wine? Will it wipe out all my downloaded apps, etc.?  :-\

Under Synaptic, Not installed (Residual Config). Do you uninstall or let it lay?

Solution:
Lite Tweaks, Residual Config Files.

Just something I am using lately in all my linux installs.

This is just a info thread. Support questions should go in the "On Topic" section of this forum.
If you decide to use or try it out. Good luck using it. It is still in alpha stage. Just my personal view on it.

Hi all, from the Netherlands. I am using ll for a couple of weeks and very happy with it. Keep up the good work.

I understand this might not be a popular suggestion, but I'm curious what people think about Discourse forum system?

I find SMF ironically not that simple and clean.

Just a suggestion as I think a little colour (and style) goes a long way in helping new users.

The Terminal is one of the four apps chosen to be showcased on the Panel right out of the box. And yet, it's not that appealing to use and I think it could definitely be more welcoming.



As a better example, take a look at ElementaryOS' default Terminal:



It's cool yet calm. Slightly softer and more inviting. The font (Droid Sans Mono) is a little more welcoming with slightly more breathable line spacing. Colour is tastefully applied and offers hints at discrete information.

Droid Sans is already included in LL so adding Droid Sans Mono wouldn't be too outrageous. 

It may be a little thing but if LL is truly trying to appeal to the new gnu/linux user then I would think they would want to make it as inviting as possible.

As a new user with a fresh set of eyes, one thing I find really confusing is the myriad of ways to go about installing software.

If I open up the menu and start typing: install



I'll be presented with at least 7 different options to choose what to install.

• Install Updates & Install Drivers both kinda make sense and seem appropriate
  
• Install RELEASE however seems out-of-place since I've already installed
  
• Install/Remove Software seems ok and self-explanatory but appears to make the next three options redundant
  
• Run Install offers no clue to what it does
  
• Lite Software seems like it could be a tab within Install/Remove Software
  
• Software & Updates perhaps simply a poor naming choice as it seems like it should be covered with the very first option
  

Hi.  Just installed 3.2, 64-bit, fully updated.  I have a puzzling situation.  Perhaps someone can help.

I use an app titled Blue Letter Bible.  The CD contains Windows and Mac versions.  Linux can use it, too.  You just have to change to the BLB directory and double-click on index.html.  Indeed, it works nicely.  It opens in Google Chrome.

I tried to add BLB my menu using Edit Applications.  I fill in the details, but the "OK" button never activates.  It doesn't seem to like .html files in the Command prompt.  When this didn't work, I created a batch file (not the right thing to do, I think), and then a shell script to see if the menu editor would accept it.  No luck.

Can someone perhaps direct me in the right way to add this app to my menu?  Thanks.
