Hey gang,
I need some help.  I loved LL 3.6 and just installed 4.0 on my trusty 10-yr old HP laptop. For some reason my boot time is now painfully slow...like over 6 minutes slow!  I've reinstalled a few times, but it did not help. 

Can you guys suggest a fix?

Linux Lite, of the worst distro if any. I would never recommend such a bad distro.
Ridiculous. I have tested around 20 different Linux distros. After all that, Linux Lite has distinguished itself as the most stable, most intuitive, most Windows-friendly and just all around satisfying of them all. I won't mention other distros, as it is this forum's policy not to do so, but it would be nice if people would actually read the posting rules, so we don't have the kind of distractions evident in this thread.

Erm, maybe there is another thread somewher so correct me if I'm wrong but I just re-read the forum rules and there is no mention about other distros.
Unless you are speaking about spamming/publicity? With hundreds of distros, it would be hard not to mention what others are doing and everybody is free to their opinions... of course sometimes this can be boderline publicity to moderators could have to step in.
As the saying goes since the olden days: "Don't feed the troll!" :P

As for new versions of distros (even on other platforms), I personnaly ALWAYS wait for the first revision .1 or service pack. The ONLY exception is Linux Lite, it has just been the most stable for me. And, no, I'm not related to this distro, I just like it! ;)

Cheers!

Well, I guess you got me. I did see something to this effect somewhere on this forum, possibly from Jerry himself. I assumed it must have been in the rules, but did not go back to them to verify. But I know I saw it here somewhere.

Hi, I also just installed LL 4.0 (found a link to the release ISO at Distrowatch) and simply *love* it!

Been on MX-17.1 previously, but because of some system lock-ups I needed a light distro based on Ubuntu 18.04 so here I go...  No problems so far  8)

THANK YOU!!!

Just installed it - and it runs beautifully! Will take a little while to get used to the new design (minutes probably), but it is quite the nice upgrade in look, feel and design.

As for 'flamers' on the forum: if you reply to them - all you're going to do is encourage them to 'flame' more. Why sink to their level? Besides: their are many versions of GNU/Linux out there. If you don't like this version - change to one that you like. Try changing Windows or OS X internally; the results will be evident.  :D

64bit OS (32-bit on Samsung netbook) installed in Legacy mode on MBR-formatted SSDs (except pi which uses a micro SDHC card):
2017 - Raspberry pi 3B (4cores) ~ [email protected] - LibreElec, used for upgrading our Samsung TV (excellent for the task)  
2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ [email protected] - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom [email protected] - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work

THEDEAD, your experience with MX linux is very rare. Actually, I never had problems with MX linux 64 bits. I do not really need a welcome screen, it's not relevant. The only thing that I agree with you, is the lack of drivers, only for nvidia. My notebook has an intel i3, video intel, and I have not had to install its proprietary driver, but I understand that if it subtracts some points to MX in that sense. If I had to leave MX linux, I would probably go back to Xubuntu, not LL.

in Ubuntu 18.04 I also found applications inconsistent. UCK does not work on ubuntu 18.04, cubic does not work on ubuntu 18.04 ....... If they do not work on ubuntu 18.04, they will not work on Lite 4.0 either. So much capacity that Lite developers have, they should have already created an application to replace Systemd. MX linux has its own Snapshot application and does not depend on third-party applications. I would not use Linux Lite as a permanent distro.  :)

Heya!

I'm sorry to see you go guys! :(

As for MX, I do not agree that MX is a "newbie" OS, I saw it mentionned a few times in these forum so I tried it. Here's a quick review :

MX Linux 17.1 x32 (On VBox - i5-7thGen, 2cores, 1.5G RAM, 10G SSD. NB : This is like all my Linux x32 test VMs).

Some of the options can be confusing and/or scary.
I have some experience and even I was a little lost sometimes.
Just in the installer and updater there are some options that could probably brick the install. (Example, leaving grub options to the user, etc.)

Uniformity of interfaces is strange, some parts looking like OS/2 or Windows 95!
(There is no boot splash screen, showing the boot "text". It's ok for that "old school" feel but we're 2018 ;) - ADD : This could be a VirtualBox issue, I did not install on hardware).

In my quick tour, I found that some choices for apps were interesting other a little less, but this is still the MX strong point. Unfortunately, the experience was not without problems. The interface hanged on me, I could move the mouse but clicks didn't register, had to reboot.
ADD : Had the machine hang on boot also, this seems to occur in about one-of-five boot. It could be related to Kernels updates but contrary to problems I had in the past, this one is intermitent so could be something completely different. v. 4.15.0

Also, I had to manually re-add the updater icon which did not show after install. This worked once, then when clicked opened the synaptics package manager, closed it.
When clicked again... nothing happened. After reboot, was able to right click and select "Check Updates", it opened a terminal, closed it, no warning or anything. Maybe it was done, maybe not, did not care at that point.

I did not look that much but there are only an nVidia/Wireless driver tools? What about the other drivers?

Anyhoo, MX feels like a Linux Lite "Light/Core" or something for tablets and sometimes feel like it's not XFCE but OpenBox or something. Would not suggest to the "standard" Windows user, except if there still on Windows 95 with an old PC. Even then, seing it's only about 10-20MB lighter on RAM than LiLi 3.8 x32, I would probably suggest Peppermint before MX. MX is "interesting" though, but I won't give it another go until their version 18.

Cheers!

After using LL for a long time, I got to know MX Linux and I doubt that I will use Linux Lite again. In MX linux, I have everything a newbie needs. In addition to a fast system, in MX I find a system with many applications that Lite never found, I am really very comfortable and satisfied with MX Linux.
Thank you Linux Lite for your work that you enjoy for quite some time. Successes and the best so that Lite continues to grow.  8)

I also tried MX Linux, it was in a VM but as far as I can tell it is quite a good distro. 
Without each others help there ain't no hope for us :)
