possible to install as desktop - maestrobwh1 - 09-20-2020
I am running Ubuntu 20.04 on a ThinkPad 11e. It is fine, although a bit "heavy" at times on resources.
Since Lite is based on Ubuntu, is it feasible to install it as a "desktop" choice rather than wipe or create a separate partition for a complete install? I.e. add some repos and install specific new packages.
It would be great to have it as a log in choice into a system that already has my application preferences already installed. I have been a super fan of Linux Lite 4.8. I do use 5.0 on another machine it is great.

No! Linux Lite is a completely separate distribution, built on an Ubuntu base, but with lotsa cool stuff that unique to Linux Lite alone, like the cool tools, the highly modified Xfce desktop (not "Xubuntu-desktop"), and a repository all it's own. Different philosophy, different niche.

You could install Xfce on your Ubuntu to make is "look" a bit like Linux Lite.
Distro Hopping to Linux Lite is not overly difficult.
