I expect them to grow even further.
All Apps, are growing larger. I use the Office, since OpenOffice. I guess somewhere back 1998 - 2000.
It grew steadily since then. All Apps, evolve and it means also that packages grow.
Linux Lite itself, added nice Lite Apps.
While Linux Lite keeps its promises, it's unrealistic to expect evolution and "small size ISO".
Besides...
There are distros that ship a 7 - 8 GB ISO.
So, we're good! Smile
Last idea:
On DistroWatch, Linux Lite is for this month, the 7th! Smile
According to my research, Linux Lite it's the 8th, with a 17,000,000 users base. EndeavourOS (the second?! :o ), has a measly 23,000 users base.
It is still far from Mint and Ubuntu, but still, TOP 10!

Best regards! Smile

re. DistroWatch and other statistics. It's blows my mind when I think about it sometimes. In the beginning, I did this to give back after linux had been so good to me. Never thought it would come this far, especially since we're focused on other proprietary operating systems. Stay true to your focus.

I wrote an article about that on my Forum... What blows my mind, is how easy people fall into marketing traps...

I guess everything starts like this. We like something, we go further then we want to give back. That means Evolution.

When I wrote my first book, I could swear it is THE First AND the Last. That was back in 2007...
And then, came in many others. Over 30 I guess. I kinda lost track of... I have to go on, to move on... Everybody does.

For me, 22 July 2012, meant "The End of Windows Story". I'm on Linux, ever since.

I'm on Linux Lite for almost 5 years now... I came to the conclusion that viewing it out of its context, that is its Ecosystem, Linux Lite, is just another Linux OS. Unfortunately, looking closely to many other distros, that is true.
When it comes to Linux Lite, extracting it from its environement, is a huge mistake!
What makes Linux Lite stand out of the crowd, is the Ecosystem.
Is the Lead Developer available? YES.
Is the community friendly? YES.
Is there a large user base? YES.
Does it stick to its "Credo" ( = Lite)? YEEEEEEESSSSS!
As an example...
I tested yesterday in VBox  the latest Linux Mint. After a five years experience, we developed some kind of a bond.
I was expecting to be very pleased by the new version. While the live OS worked unexpectedly fast, and a low memory footprint (748 MB on idle), I felt some disappointment when looking at the Apps. Too many I'll never use so... I need to squeeze them out. For me, it's easy. But... Why?
My main concern is usually to have the largest possible amount of resources, available for Apps. I saw it slightly going down...
Using FireFox with 1 (one!) document, pushed the memory to 1,3 GB (SWAP = 0 though). After closing it, instead of the previous idle of 748 MB, I got 1100 MB.
That was the main reason I gave it up, almost 5 years ago. Still trouble? After 5 years?
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe there is a real progress.
Even if so, why would I revert to Linux Mint, when Linux Lite works far beyond expectations?

Someone says:

Code:
If it works, why change?

And, belive me, I put a lot of stress on my Linux Lite installation! It's heavily customized, in order to make me feel enough "at home" so I can work without getting distracted by trivial annoyances.

Bottom line:

Will I ever change Linux Lite for another distro?

Well, in the forseeable future, it is unlikely to change it.
The most likely solution, is a secondary OS, on a different machine. I dislike the "dual-boot" philosophy, due to the low level backup complications.
So, it's either two different machines, or stick to Linux Lite, as long as I can.
Since I lack a solution to hardware switch from a storage to another (Would be great if I knew how! Hot pluggable bay maybe?), meaning to push a button and power off one drive or another, the only way to boot two OS's is installing them on different machines.
I tried it with an external drive and there is a GRUB issue. It's relatively easy to fix it when required, but I'm kinda lazy so...

...I did a little research... It's possible. Costs some money, but is doable:

Hot swappable adapter (2.5", 3.5"):

Thanks!

I always enjoy moving from one Linux Lite, to the next! Smile
RC 1, was interesting and very functional! Smile

Howdy,
I just don't understand how LL could be #7, my Compaq Presario cq56 is almost 12 years old.  At the time it was purchased specifically for mobile work at a jobsite renovation my company was working on, our office had 2 PC's and 2 printers but no laptops.  I never imagined keeping it this long but unforeseen things happen and here I am.  Linux Lite saved my laptop and in turn many $$$$ as I don't have to spend limited resources on a new one right now, and that my friends is priceless. 
I look forward to buying a new laptop with newer hardware and erasing Windows and installing a new version of Linux Lite on it and never looking back, never having Windows looking over my shoulder, messing with my computer making it slow and unusable.  Thank you Jerry and all who have helped me along for the past 8 months while I painfully learned a new way of computing, and I look forward to the future of Linux Lite.

Best regards,
Vint,
God Bless Texas

Hi, Vint! Smile
Same thinking here! Smile

That's a long story. Read my previous posts on that...

(10-29-2022, 03:46 PM)vint link Wrote: [...] my Compaq Presario cq56 is almost 12 years old. [...]

I've done some research on that.
The market value, is around 310 -330 USD.
Here, in România, that's a lot of money. For me, at least... I would think more than twice, before giving it up.
I used to have a Lenovo ThinkPad T400 and I gave it up, because the USB controller and the WiFi chipset, got broken. I was sorry, but had to move on.
This Presario, is close to ThinkPad T400. I would keep it, as long as possible!

I totally subscribe! As I said before, we're speaking of over 300 USD...

I'd like that too, but it still exceeds my hardware budget so far. Maybe next year... Maybe...
I had some expenses that were higher ranked on my priorities list than a new laptop...

Duplicates from multiple LibreOffice versions?  I would have expected only a single LibreOffice version in an ISO...

Howdy Serb,
$330.00 is a lot of money here in the US as well, at least for me it is.  When I finally get my SS the first investment I'll make is in a PC that I can build on that our household can all use but I will keep my Compaq Presario as long as it keeps working.  Linux Lite is an awesome OS and I'm so glad I decided on it rather than some of the others that say they are low on resources. 

Best regards,
Vint,
God Bless Texas
