I try to take care of myself
I like Linux Lite too, it is my only installed distro, I use it daily.
I am trying to learn more Linux, so I may be able to be of use in the community in the future, many areas of Linux I do not understand at all yet.
It is likely many areas I have not even heard about yet, don't know they exist.
Doing projects or following a tutorial with an outcome is the best way that I learn.
I was using the Linux Bible but have gotten stuck as I cannot get the menus to appear when right clicking the panels as the book says, I joined Fedora forum to ask about it but nobody has answered yet, so I got bored.
As I was trying to learn then I felt I will start something else to learn for now.
I realize then it will take me a time to get back in to the Linux Bible, or start doing it again, it is disruptive to the learning my getting that way.
So I thought this project seemed a good way to sort of carry on in a similar kind of area, so I don't lose learning momentum.
I didn't understand the partitioning and formatting and have never tried it, I had like zero knowledge of it, in relation to a install of Linux Lite, and had not tried any of it. So the project helped me to be able to try this out, and begin to learn about it /try and start to understand it.
When I have seen threads on this forum about partitioning I couldn't learn from it because it was too advanced for me, and I didn't want to mess up my LL install, once I realized I could learn partitioning in VirtualBox and do a little project I thought it was a good way to start in that area.
So now although not good at this at all, I might be able to follow those threads, and learn some more about that area.
Also other things like the grub, splash screen, display manager, as I do more in the project, I will begin to know a little bit about them, and then I can follow those threads on the forum a bit better, and also maybe have a better idea of how/what to search to learn extra, idea being eventually in the future I might be able to help in those areas, not at the very advanced levels but maybe at some level, but I have to begin to learn it first.
Plus of course I enjoy learning
