Linux Lite 4.0 Beta Released

[TheDead]

To Mister [member=2]Jerry[/member] .

Hope you're having a nice week-end.  Two things for thee!
1.
BTW, the 4.0b can be installed in French wihout error (updates unchecked, third party checked). Well, I installed in one time, but, this never worked before.
But, once installed, if you say yes to the popup asking to change folder names (i.e. Desktop becoming "Bureau" and so on). Desktop icons dissapear and Lite Desktop is broken and does not work anymore.
Also, putting back the system in english leaves this in a broken state, Lite Desktop not working. ADD : The XFCE desktop icons check boxes still work though.

I have made my peace and am using LL only in english but just to let you know.

2.
Another small thing, the mouse-over timer (I'm guessing in the XFCE settings) seems a little too fast and I end up needing to "reclick" the mouse an additional time to make selections, etc.

Cheers!

Release Announcement

Faenza icons were dropped as it had not been maintained in some time (albeit there is a fork) and the same for the Arc theme, development seems to have stalled there.

Will the other icon sets (e.g. Adwaita, Humanity, etc) still be kept alongside the new ones?

From day one our instructions and documentation has been quite clear on Language support. It's even provided as a step in the Welcome screen. See Lite Tweaks for Numlock settings and Keyboard Function on the Start page in the Help Manual. Generally speaking, we avoid comparisons to other distros. I'm sure there are many things LL does that others don't. All the best, and welcome.

I don't know how hard it would be or even if feasable but...
the installer in 4.0 now seams to work in other languages (tbc I guess), maybe it should be "forced" to english only?
And/Or put a message during live boot/install to this effect.
Something like "Linux Lite supports English as the default language. Choosing another language could lead to display or filesystem errors."
I dunno, my quote seams harsh something more diplomatic maybe.
Like I said... if it's not possible, forget my rambling. "Keep calm and carry on" like they say in London.

Cheers!

Sorry NN, I'm simply not interested in popularity or 'ranking' highly. We have a singular purpose, to show people there are alternatives to proprietary operating systems. The responses from people on our Feedback page illustrates we are achieving this. I don't cater to existing Linux users. Check out that and our Features page to gain a better understanding of our mission. Our reason for existing. Cheers.
