Hello everyone,
This is my first time using Linux Lite. I hadn't thought of trying Linux Lite before till my Windows OS crashed recently after an unfortunate Windows update.
I look forward to interacting with the community here, and please do pardon me if I ask silly questions because I'm not very good with computer and I'm trying to learn more about it.
Thank you!  Smile

Hello, Homework!


You are with good folks and a good version of Linux...believe me!
I just left Windows a few months ago and the folks here made it easy.
Of course, Linux Lite made it easy, too. Enjoy!

Welcome !

Everyone has to start somewhere, at sometime. If your question is about Linux Lite and how it and the computer works, then there's no such thing as a "silly question" - you've come to the right place
for help. Enjoy your stay here and I'm pretty sure you'll learn a lot about Linux if you stick around ...

Cheers
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

Welcome!

This is a very welcoming place for newbies and technophobes.  No question is silly unless it doesn't include:
  • What version of Linux Lite you are running (the latest 32-bit or 64-bit, etc),
  • What kind of computer you have (more on that in a sec)
  • What's wrong
  • What you have tried to do about it, and
  • What resulted from your efforts.
If you're like a lot of us, you really don't even know what kind of computer you have.  But part of the wonderful genius of Linux Lite is a super-easy way to find out and share with the group:

Menu -> System -> Share Configuration

It walks you right through the whole process.  Perfect for newbies!  Just like this superb Linux mixture.

Thank you very much for all your kind replies.
There's a Coding section here on this forum, and I have programming questions on Java. Could I post it there under that section?
