Linux Lite Xfce vs. Xubuntu
#33
Hi,

LL really cuts it for me over any other distro (including Xubuntu) or Windows OS, for the following
reasons in order of importance (most important first):

1. The  LL forum: a real community of ever-helpful members who are willing to share their time and
    knowledge, and very importantly,  to match your level of understanding.  Ubuntu, Mint & Zorin
    forums seem much larger and as a result you feel somewhat anonymous, and so not quite
    the same feel of community about them - a unique selling point of LL

2. LL is easy to use for ex-Windows-OS users, particularly those who are not power users, e.g the familiarity of
    desktop layout and its intuitive gui which, and very importantly, does away with a need for
    command line
   
3. Applications rather than the package names are used - this gives clarity particularly for noobs who
    are not familiar with linux package names

4. Lightweight & does a great job of  resurrecting older PCs.  My sister got a pleasant surprise when
    I brought her Vista-run Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 back to life with LL2.8 - she was going to replace
    it, but has instead decided to keep it. She's delighted with the saving she's made!

5. Privacy issues - with LL and Linux more generally, I can avoid all the security & privacy issues that
    have been highlighted for win10 and I don't have the likes of Microsoft pressuring me to sign up to
    them.

Regards
Mike
64bit OS (32-bit on Samsung[i] netbook) installed in [i]Legacy mode on MBR-formatted SSDs (except pi which uses a micro SDHC card):
2017 - Raspberry pi 3B (4cores) ~ Arm710@1.2GHz - LibreElec, used for upgrading our Samsung TV (excellent for the task)  
2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ i3-3110M@2.4GHz - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom N455@1.66GHz - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel T3200@2.0GHz - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel T7100@1.8GHz - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work
