Why Ubuntu? Why Linux Lite? - torreydale - 06-22-2015 I am curious why others here chose Ubuntu and Linux Lite? I'll go first. I chose the Ubuntu family because it appeared to be the most popular for newbies and desktops. I chose Linux Lite because I thought it would be best for transitioning folks in my sphere of influence over to Linux. Since I'm a newbie myself, I also like the support, the documentation, and the roadmap of where the Linux Lite distro is headed. When I find myself selling someone on the benefits of Linux, these things make it an easy sell. Why did you choose Ubuntu LTS and Linux Lite? Re: Why Ubuntu? Why Linux Lite? - Jocklad - 06-22-2015 A few years ago was just sick to the back teeth with Windows and started with Linux. Started with Ubuntu 11.04 and never looked back. Currently using Linuxlite 2.4 a great Linux distro. Jocklad Re: Why Ubuntu? Why Linux Lite? - sysdrum - 06-22-2015 Re: Why Ubuntu? Why Linux Lite? - rokytnji - 06-22-2015 Touchscreen. Re: Why Ubuntu? Why Linux Lite? - avj - 06-22-2015 Personally I had been a windows xp user and when it was announced that Microsoft was discontinuing support for xp I decided the time to switch to an open source operating system was good. I tried Ubuntu 12.04 first and Debian and a few others before finding Linux Lite. Ubuntu had Unity which I really don't like, I prefer a desktop environment like XFCE. Debian felt like pulling teeth every time I wanted to change something. I tried LXDE based distros but they didn't have the ease of customization I was looking for. Most of the other distros that I tried were not intuitive and it was easier to find a more intuitive one than to read through countless pages on the internet to try to figure out how to do what I wanted to do with my computer. So when I found Linux Lite it was at version 2.0 and I have been with it every day since. It just works. Re: Why Ubuntu? Why Linux Lite? - torreydale - 06-23-2015 I also liked how Linux Lite looked on www.linuxscreenshots.org. Whatever happened to that site? Re: Why Ubuntu? Why Linux Lite? - N4RPS - 07-06-2015 Hello! I had dabbled in Linux occasionally over the years, but couldn't handle the learning curve, compiling kernels, playing driver games, etc. Then, I stumbled across Ubuntu 11.04. At last, a Linux that installed everything smoothly! Ubuntu's Unity was snail-slow, so I went to Lubuntu from 11.10 on, because it was faster. I then found LL in early 2014. Been here ever since... 73 DE N4RPS Rob Re: Why Ubuntu? Why Linux Lite? - pauloz - 07-06-2015 I just got sick to death of Windows consistently hanging, slow with questionable security - in other words the usual suspects! What sold me on Ubuntu 5 years ago was firstly, the security, stability and secondly, the speed. It just worked. I was checking the reviews of LL and was impressed with all the favourable reviews and knowing it was based on the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS platform, it was a no-brainer. Also, there were many things I don't use in Ubuntu so LL was the perfect fit. I haven't looked back! Spread the word!! Re: Why Ubuntu? Why Linux Lite? - torreydale - 08-13-2015 @rokytnji, You have Linux Lite working with touchscreen? Re: Why Ubuntu? Why Linux Lite? - rokytnji - 08-13-2015 (08-13-2015, 05:39 AM)torreydale link Wrote: @rokytnji, Yep, sure do. I also have AntiX 15 working on a touchscreen. I run the latest kernel on that laptop and touchscreen works. On my AntiX install. I am running the 3.16 kernel and my touchscreen works on my Atom Netbook . Below is a readout in code showing my touchscreen in the Atom netbook . Which is a M&A Companion touch. Code: dmesg | grep usb Below is my intro deciding to run Linux lite because it detects and makes my touchscreen work on my Dell XT2 with a touch screen. https://www.freecinema2022.gq/forums/introductions/howdy-from-a-scooter-tramp-with-a-linux-computer/msg3875/#msg3875 Did you know? I require no /etc/X11/xorg.conf for my touchscreens to work. It was a surprise to me also. Here is the Dell touchscreen XT2 when I was doing beta testing on AntiX 15. I'd show the same in Linux-Lite 2.4 but I am posting right now from my Code: $ inxi -M So a old report is what I have to show since the other Dell is put away for now. Code: demo@antiX1:~ |
