Browser choice in Linux Lite 2.2
#47
Update: Firstly, thank you for all of your feedback.

CD vs DVD
Linux Lite 2.2 will be released DVD sized. I reached this conclusion in favour of offering people more essential software, for example a time and date app, a new mouse theme that will allow for on the fly cursor size changes etc. As people have already pointed out, there are still many free operating systems that still fit on CD, including most Linux Lite releases so any concerns for example over the environment means we are far from running out of options for saving older hardware.

Browser
Linux Lite has had Firefox since day 1. Moving to Chrome would occur based on either 1 or both of the following criteria.
1) Chrome has significant market browser share.
2) The majority of the top linux distros all move to Chrome.

What we are trying to do here is retain familiarity whilst remaining flexible and open to change in the future. Offering both browsers could be confusing, think of it like offering 2 CD/DVD programs. Misko's Choose default browser application needs to be added to LL, that will occur once we have somewhere for it to be integrated, like a future tweak app. Lite Browser is no longer required.

Linux Lite 2.2 focus
The focus now on LL 2.2 is seeing what software we can add that is essential eg. a date and time app.
There is a new thread here - https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index.php?topic=1112 and I invite you all to contribute ideas so that we can start getting 2.2 ready for release.

Thank you Smile
