I installed Linux Lite about a year ago as a replacement for a Chromebook that went outdated. I've been hoping to attach it to the TV and use it just as a media center for Netflix and stuff. It works pretty well when you first boot it up, but when you leave it sitting for a few hours, it slows to a crawl and takes several minutes before responding well. Any thoughts on what's happening and how to resolve it?

I'm fairly incompetent when it comes to Linux, so I knew I was in over my head when I started this, but I'd hoped it would be relatively straightforward since I'm basically just using it as a web browser with an extension or two. If you need me to forward more information, I beg your patience with my ineptitude.

Hello,english is not my native language, I am sorry for my bad grammar. I got an old laptop (2009 year). It does not recognize GPT at all.
I created a bootable usb stick in MBR and successfully installed the OS. However,after the installation,i cannot boot anymore to the drive,where the OS is installed,because the installer created a GPT partition by default. It is  not offering the choice of what kind of partition table to create. Even if booted in legacy, it still make only GPT partition table . There is no option in manual partition to set it to MBR. 
question: Is there a way to install this OS to a MBR only device?
Laptop model: Toshiba Satellite L550.
Bios: phoenix secureCore Tiano v2.20

UPD: i have solved my issue. You can close this thread.

Hi all,  Smile

I´d very much like to know your opinion about i3 tiling window manager.

What I want to do is install it on Linux Lite 6.2 as it may provide certain benefits (amongst others lower RAM usage, I guess).
At least from time to time starting the system with i3 tiling WM might be a good idea for me.  Wink

I´m not looking for installation help. There´s a very good article by Dave McKay on
https://www.howtogeek.com/769284/what-is...-on-linux/ .

My question is more of a general kind:

On https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/softw...ml#deskenv it says:

Quote:If you desire to install another desktop environment, we cannot provide specific instructions on how to do this. There are far too many variables involved and much can go wrong.

Well, I know installing another DE on a system which already makes use of its own DE may be risky at times.

But what about i3 tiling WM?
I mean: is it to be seen as a "desktop environment"? My understanding is: it´s a window manager (not a DE per se).

So what it boils down to is: Is it safe to install i3 tiling WM alongside the already installed "heavily modified version of the XFCE desktop environment"?

Many thanks in advance and many greetings

Rosika  :wave

Hiya!

I've installed LL 6.2 on a Lenovo laptop, it seems to be ok except the following:

hitting <shift> 2 gives the @ symbol instead of "
hitting <shift> ' gives " instead of @
the number keys on the main keyboard all work except 7, which does nothing
Numlock seems to be ok - the keypad area toggles between numbers and the movement keys when I hit Numlock


I've tried the virtual / onscreen keyboard, all keys work ok on that.
Can anyone tell me which of the keyboard options I should set?

Cheers and TIA!

The trackpad is misbehaving too, that's next on my list
