Şerban Stănescu - About me

Very interesting, but what is an Ecosystem, in computer terms?

Hi!
It's very much like in the current acception of the term:
A way of making work together seamlessly all the software pieces of a computer:
The Core Os;
The Desktop Environnement;
The Window Manager;
The set of User Applications.

The last item is the taughest task of an OS. Coping very well with all the "whistles and bells" of an User.
In order to be able to do this, the OS has to be very tolerant to a custom set of applications and that might mean working very well with some 1,000 - 1,500 Apps, at least, regardless the combination of Apps.
It's very much like you have a Mercedes and it's so smart than it can use any spare parts from Ferrari, Lancia, Volvo, Volkswagen, Opel, Fiat, Nissan, Toyota, Honda, etc.
While with Linux Lite this is possible, with it's "Father", Ubuntu, I'd better pass the offer...
The caveeat of this though, is that the User (me, for one) has to have enough practice and patience, to figure out at least the basics of how the Linux "wheels spin". And this might take more than one year of daily work.
Most people, give up a distro after some 2 - 6 weeks. This is way too short to understand anything, supposing you understand something.
That's why people do distro hopping and care for backgrounds and animations. Takes too much to do a fine tunning. Better wait for the next version, than next, than next... Do you see the pattern here? Does it ring a bell?
All the best!
