Hi my name is Casino,chosen because I was born in a Casino,absolutely no IT background,been using Linux for around 16 years,I have been an avid distro hopper but slowed that down a little now.
What I know about Linux is entirely self taught and acquired by reading forums ,articles and everything I could find about Linux,the cruel wags would say I still do not know much about Linux !
I am absolutely amazed at the quality of Linux Lite,on a par with Linux Mint and far ahead of some of the Buntus,it is just that everything just works first time every time and many top name distros have surprising glitches in them and the same glitches appear release after release.I particularly like being able to install the latest Kernel.My set up is a Biostar Celeron N3050H mobo in a minibox M350 case,with 8GB of ram and a Samsung 840 120GB SSD ,with no case fan,no processor fan and an external power supply it is completely silent with a nominally  6 watt power draw it runs on less than a tenth of the power of my other computers and is as quick as the Pentium 3Gig that I used as my main computer only a few years ago.I hope to get to know some of you over the coming months,I do believe that quality software attracts quality folks and it will be a pleasure to be in your company !

Hello Casino,

Welcome to the forum

It sounds like it was very enjoyable to see the changes over time.

I haven't been on Linux for nearly as long as you, but the fun part is that for those of us who don't really care to "learn Linux" but just want to get work done on a fast, reliable computer, no longer have to "learn Linux" like folks once did.  Wonderful techno-wizards have come up with just what we need!

That said...

It's good to learn about Linux computers just as you would want to learn about any other major tool, like a car or a tractor.  Just to maintain it and keep it healthy and stuff.  This forum is great for that!

Welcome!
