Linux Lite 3.0 Beta Released

[eightbit]

Well the 64-bit version was 46MB too much to use my trusty Memorex 1GB usb flash drive that I have used for Linux Lite for quite some time, but the 32-bit version fit just fine Booted up just fine and detected by dual core G3450 and all of my 8GB of memory. Cool!

Looks great Jerry. 2.8 was/is great, but the fine tuning in this release (as well as being a new LTS) is superb. This is going right on a few older PC's I have around here right away.

One thing I would love to see in the final is compton set up to autostart with the OS and the XFCE integrated compositor disabled. It is always the first thing I have to do after an install of LL. And it is not compositing for high end video cards either. I have found that compton straight up outperforms the integrated compositor in video performance even on some pretty old (P4 era) PC's with integrated video. If not enabled by default in the autostart, at least installed and an autostart entry ready to check off if the user wants it would be great. I believe compton takes up under 100kb, so space should not be an issue. The autostart option I have continually used on so many machines is one I believe you provided some time ago:

Code:

Name: Compton
Description: Compositor for X11
Command: compton --backend glx --paint-on-overlay --glx-no-stencil --vsync opengl-swc

If you cannot add it for some reason I understand, but it be really really convenient (and no other XFCE based distro does it except for Mint as far as I am aware)
