Hello from snowy Maine, USA - Mike - 11-27-2014
Hello All,
I've been using some form of Linux since 2007. Even though LL mainly targets Windows users, I find that is suitable for the more advanced Linux users as well. It has a nice blend of sane, simple defaults and minimal bling while also being attractive. Major kudos to the devs.
I haven't extensively tested the distro but a few things stood out to me right away:
- The task manager and screenshot utilities in the desktop right-click menu are very handy and something that I haven't seen in other distros.
- I was a little surprised to see that there are no cursor themes installed by default. While I don't mind the no-frills X cursor that LL uses, I imagine new users may like a few options. Was the minimal inclusion of cursors and GTK themes intentional to keep the ISO small? Just curious.
- It was nice to see a font other than standard Sans used. Another good font from Google/Android is Roboto.
- Everything appears to work OOTB for me on an Acer C720P (chromebook). The only thing that I found a little odd was that my cursor changed to a VERY slanted cursor during the installation process. Obviously it's not a deal breaker but I noticed it.
To the devs: Keep up the great work, you've made an excellent distro! The LTS factor is much appreciated when many other distros are trying to be bleeding edge. Thanks!

Welcome mlsmith, both those issues are fixed with a new default mouse theme in 2.2

How did you install LL on a Chromebook? Would you mind posting a separate tutorial? What works and doesn't work eg. touchscreen. I think people would find this extremely useful. Thank you.

I can certainly do that. It has gotten MUCH easier to configure since the release of the 3.17 kernel. Previously I had to compile additional modules to get the touchpad and touchscreen working. After installing 3.17+ (I'm currently using your 3.18) almost everything works without much configuration. There are a couple of other tweaks that I do as well to fine tune it which I can mention in the tut.
