POLL: Lite Tweaks Column Change
#16
In my view, 'Password' is not necessary, as it's required by default for most LT tasks (i.e. 14 out of 19 listed LT tasks), and anyway is assumed to be needed to carry out most admin tasks in Linux more generally.

'Category' doesn't provide any useful practical information beyond what is already given in 'Task' and in 'Description', both the latter being important  in helping the user decide which LT task to use. However, in agreement with bitsnpcs, the classification within 'Category' does help one see how things fit together, when learning about the OS, though, again, not essential for practical purposes - it seems to be one of those 'nice-to-have-but-not-necessary-things'.

When I had LL installed on a 10" Samsung netbook (setup2 in sig), I can't recall screen width as being an issue for LT.
So, bitsnpcs' comment in Reply #12  swings it slightly in favour of keeping 'Category', so long as screen width (as it stands) isn't an issue... so that's the way I've voted.
64bit OS (32-bit on Samsung[i] netbook) installed in [i]Legacy mode on MBR-formatted SSDs (except pi which uses a micro SDHC card):
2017 - Raspberry pi 3B (4cores) ~ [email protected] - LibreElec, used for upgrading our Samsung TV (excellent for the task)  
2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ [email protected] - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom [email protected] - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work
