I been tinkering with linux since 2003. I'm a power windows user that's always kept my eyes on linux. Reading the changelog and installing the latest distros has always been leisure for me. However I only found a few distros to be usable and still, most do crash (I know it's usually the blame of the hardware drivers but still annoying)
I love linux mint, but recently found linux lite mentioned in the latest edition of Linux format. Someone was just flat out praising it how some obscure hardware they had wouldn't work on any distros except linux lite. It just caught my attention.
Now, I installed it on 2 older laptops. A Gateway NV59 and a HP Pavilion DV4-2160US 14.1-Inch Laptop. I know if i installed a XFCE based ubuntu or even mint it probably work just as well, but something about linux lite. Maybe it's your modification of the UI/icon placements/where certain things are, etc. It is just awesome. I'm surprised it's not that popular hence I came on here took the time to register and wanted to just give the people behind the project a big thank you! 8)
