Hi,
I'm brand new to linuxliteos, and very impressed. I've been looking for a smooth and light distro for a friend with a vista-era box. I've tried several, all good, but none quite right. I think LL is the closest yet. It's obviously carefully thought out, and I'm impressed with it's smoothness and elegance and unity as a package. The desktop dynamics are very workable, including copy/paste functionality and a functioning Start key on the keyboard. I think there is a strong market for a user-friendly alternate to Windows, and even more so as MS ventures into a subscription model.
Blessings,

- A couple of things I would suggest. I found the file manager and the text editor a bit too basic. I installed PCManFM and g-edit to replace them, but it doesn't seem that either of these can be made the system default through the menu.
- Like all ubuntu derivatives I have tried, I have to log into the keyring and the LAN at each boot in order to access shares. There also doesn't seem to be a(n easy) way to set DT shortcuts or FM bookmarks for external shares.
- I would also suggest a little more in the theme department. At least one dark theme would be good, and for the sake of the friend for whom I am preparing the current box, access items such as large mouse pointers and text cursors would be great.
Blessings,
