Just an experiment.

I been tinkering with linux since 2003. I'm a power windows user that's always kept my eyes on linux. Reading the changelog and installing the latest distros has always been leisure for me. However I only found a few distros to be usable and still, most do crash (I know it's usually the blame of the hardware drivers but still annoying)

I love linux mint, but recently found linux lite mentioned in the latest edition of Linux format. Someone was just flat out praising it how some obscure hardware they had wouldn't work on any distros except linux lite. It just caught my attention.

Now, I installed it on 2 older laptops. A Gateway NV59 and a HP Pavilion DV4-2160US 14.1-Inch Laptop. I know if i installed a XFCE based ubuntu or even mint it probably work just as well, but something about linux lite. Maybe it's your modification of the UI/icon placements/where certain things are, etc. It is just awesome. I'm surprised it's not that popular hence I came on here took the time to register and wanted to just give the people behind the project a big thank you! 8)

Hi,

This is a first for me after numerous installs.
I normally set the preference for: View new folders using: Last Active View
and then whenever I open Thunar, the column widths are set how I like them
On a new clean install of LL2.2 columns are just reverting to narrow columns,
I adjust them, close them, re-open and they are narrow again.

Any pointers/tips/guidance appreciated.

Thanks... Dave

Seems I can t settle Xcreensaver after several attempts on new fresh LL 2.2 Finale install I did today even if I changed parameters & after had it removed & reinstalled , a 1st with xscreensaver issue on my end .

Kwin or Compiz is the question.Can install it on my current laptop?I have already tried some video tutorials on you tube to no avail.I was wondering if this old laptop that I rescued from a storm can handle it.I put my system info in the attachments.
Thanks in advance  ;D

Hello All! I'm an 3D and 2D animator in San Francisco.I am a newbe to linux lite who has moved to linux from Win XP.I never have looked back.I recently installed linux lite 2.2 on two laptops I found in a raging rain storm bound for the recyclers. They run great!

Does Linux Lite have a channel on Freenode?

Have installed Linux-Lite-2.2-64bit without an hitch as you would expect but even though i selected an english keyboard and even tested it before moving on, i still find that i now have the American keyboard. Can someone help me to sort this out please. Thanks

Just a quick hello from a snowy and cold Derbyshire.

I've been on Linux for about 6 years, the last 3 or 4 on Peppermint, which is excellent.

I've tried loads of distros but Peppermint has always been my main one, but trying LL 2.2 that might change.

I'm totally Windowless and now have LL duel booted with Peppermint. So flip flopping between the 2.

Look forwarding to contributing. 

i have been updating 2 lite 2.0 machines every 2 week.. today one machine downloaded 27 updates but the up date window said 0 installed and closed. the machine has not run in 2 weeks when it was last updated, then was shut down. no surfing etc. just update and shut.
any clues ?? thanks, t
