Linux Lite Wiki — A Community-Driven Knowledge Hub
The Linux Lite Wiki is our new open platform where anyone can contribute. It’s designed to make Linux Lite documentation faster, more accurate, and more accessible than ever before.
Why It Matters
Open Collaboration — Users, developers, and newcomers can freely add or update guides, tips, and troubleshooting steps.
Always Up to Date — As Linux Lite evolves, the Wiki evolves with it, ensuring real-time accuracy.
Collective Wisdom — Contributions come from real users’ experiences, creating richer, more practical documentation.
Easy to Use — Simple navigation, accessibility features, and a clean structure make it a one-stop hub for Linux Lite knowledge.
By sharing insights and keeping the Wiki open, the Linux Lite community ensures that everyone benefits from the latest information, while empowering users to become active contributors.

The existing Linux Lite Manual will remain online and on your system until the end of Series 7, however, there will be no updates to it. In Series 8, the Wiki will become the default documentation. The Wiki is online only for now.

How do I know if my Windows PC has UEFI?
In Windows Search, type msinfo or msinfo32 and launch the desktop app named System Information. Look for the BIOS Mode item, and if the value for it is UEFI, then you have the UEFI firmware. If it says BIOS Mode Legacy, then that’s the firmware you’re running.
Secure Boot is supported, but unless you know exactly how to handle it, it is a P.I.T.A. at best so I am going to say...you must disable Secure Boot to enable stress free computing.
Some helpful snippets from the latest Help Manual:
