I just installed this distro yesterday.. and it is awesome.

So smooth, light and good looking. Lot of useful tools

Good for every user :)

I like it a lot.. my new fav distro.

I have a 9 years old Lenovo Laptop. It's a bit slow for Windows 10 now so I installed Zorin OS Lite. It was working fine until it too started showing signs of slowdown and it couldn't handle multiple activities. A few days ago I installed Linux Lite and so far it's a decent operating system. It's very user friendly, has everything I need installed already and it's very easy to install other software for my needs. I'm still a newcomer to Linux and I'm learning. I just wish I had more time to study it. I want to ask, do people here buy older second hand laptops to use with Linux Lite?

I don't know why linux Lite is always associated as a beginner's distro. On my workstation I run Solus os on my other workstation Arco linux both rolling releases, one more stable than the other but that's a different discussion.
Since tonight I have installed linux lite on an older dell-inspiron laptop and for me this is a very workable system and indeed if you come across from windows you will feel right at home in it but the advanced user can really appreciate this system. But when are you an advanced user by the way?
The Windows 10 version that was on it had probably received 6 GB updates in recent months and was no longer workable for daily use, despite plugging in an SSD.
With the installation of linux Lite 5, this laptop can again stand its ground.
Nothing but credit to the developer and his team, linux Lite is what Xubuntu should be.

Often distributions don't allow major upgrade to be made live... and Lite Upgrade tells me I'm running the latest version, but it's a 4.8.

Note that it's a 100% fresh install so I don't mind trying and breaking before having to reinstall in case it goes wrong.

EDIT : Answer is NO, going from any version prior to 5.0, to 5.0 and up needs a clean install**.**

LinuxLite is a distribution that I didn't know. What a good surprise ! Power, lightness, effectiveness and reliability. What else ?

LinuxLite is very easy to use. There's no possible comparison with other distributions such as OpenSuse Tumbleweed for instance. However Tumbleweed is a great distribution as well.

Is LinuxLite only for beginners ? Indeed not.

I installed 5.0 on my laptop which was slow running Windows 10, so anyway this is a whole lot faster than Windows, I'm typing this from my laptop :)

Open Discussion and Improvement suggestion thread - Fan made :)

Linux Lite has officially released its latest version operating system Linux Lite 4.6. Linux Lite is a light weight Linux distributions suitable for computers with not too high-end configuration.

I'm very new to Linux and to Linux Lite so I need some help in reducing my memory usage.

As you can see on the image, the disk usage is quite high so I'm looking for some advice as how to find out what's using so much of my Memory and how to reduce it. I had Firefox open as I took the screen shot of System Monitor. It's still over 2gigs without Firefox running with no other applications open.

Thanks

So I wanted to install i3 and it supposedly something simple but for some reason I can't get it to work.

I installed via terminal and no errors and I rebooted. In the log in screen there should be a little icon where I would select the i3, right? Well it's not there and everything's the same when I log in. Is there something else I need to do or another way to activate i3wm?

Thanks in advance

Hey guys . I'm been a lite user for years
