Hi
I have 5 Parameters for Linux Evaluation as a Normal End User Download Size, Live Boot Performance, Installation & Customisation, Functional Performance and Others. Linux Live Scores in these areas are presented below as below benchmarked with two Linux Distros which I am using or recommending others - Fedora & Linux Mint
Fedora Linux Mint Linux Lite
Desktop Environment XFCE Desktop
Download Size 15 10 20
Live Boot 15 20 15
Installation & Customisation 15 17 13
Functional Performance 20 15 17
Others 15 20 15
Total 80 82 80
Fedora Scores Average Marks in all aspects except Functional Performance which is unbeatable. Mint Scores low on the Download Size as it is above 1 GB and is a bit poor compared with Linux Lite on Performance.
Linux Lite is the most resource friendly and eye candy Distribution.
2 Issues with Linux Lite:
Additional Application Installation is not a bit easy. Though the promise is so, I am finding that the Additional Software Installation does not work seamlessly. Further the synaptic package manager is not as effective as I had observed in Mint or Ubuntu.This area is a bleeding issue for the distribution
Installation with 3rd party codecs and multimedia support takes hell a lot of time. This was not the case with Ubuntu or Linux Mint.
2 Best Points
Completely LTS and hence acts like a semi rolling release with two versions we can have 7 years of easy usage without any difficulty.
Easy and Simple to use, best for any one who is just starting into a Linux Distribution
Questions:
I really do not see an advantage for going to Linux Lite as Linux Mint does all these stuffs in a much simpler and established manner.
What drove you to make a distro when Linux Mint is the best Ubuntu Derivative
What was in your mind in having “Additional Software Installer”.
Instead you could have given “Software Customisation Center” - A More Graphical Presentation of the additional applications.
This would have eased the user.
Many Nos example 10, 11, 14, etc., are not working with the Additional Software Installer.
The concept is a bit failing and not working.
Why the synaptic package manager is not functioning in the same manner with Mint or Ubuntu
