Is Linux Lite designed for older hardware - jacatone - 09-02-2015
I'm running LL 2.4 on an old Dell Dimension 4550 which really surprised me because I couldn't find anything other than Puppy Linux (which is un-usable) that would run on this old hardware. When I tried installing LL on newer hardware, it wouldn't install. Is it primarily designed for older systems?

It is not just for older systems. If you look at the hardware database on the website, you'll see machines with some very modern specs.
I personally put LL 2.4 on a coworker's machine that was shipped with Windows 8. Almost felt wrong to do so...almost.

I do that a lot for people. Go to the store with them, pick out a laptop/desktop, ask the salesman to let me boot LL in-store to check compatibility, if everything works, they have a sale. Windows never sees the light of day. Go home, disable secure boot and uefi, install LL, worry free

Just installed LL 2.6 on a Dell desktop, this machine must be at least 12 years old .
It only has 1gig of ram and an old Pata HDD.
Running perfect.

It glides along on a 12+ year old Celeron+1GB
It fly's/screams along on a Haswell i7-4790S, boots to stable desktop in 6/7 secs, non of this smoke and mirrors Windows fast boot
