New to Linux, this is what is stopping me from using it
#1
I wanted to switch to linux a couple of days ago ( from win 7 ) but I could not set some things up.

In win 7 I am using "set custom text size (DPI) of 150%

It works great. Everything is larger, desktop, browser and all text is bigger etc.

I can not find that option here. I also tried a version of Linux Mint cinnamon that has it but the max ( 200% ) is too big and "normal" is too small.

I tried changing the font size and it helps but it is not good enough.

Is there any way to change text DPI in Linux Lite ( or any other linux ) ?

p.s. i do not want to change my resolution.


2. In win 7 I am using autohotkey for some keyboard shortcuts.

I see linux has built in option  for some shortcuts but I can not set what i want.

I want to set:

-  key "end" as a mute key

-  key "pgdn" as "volume down"

-  "pgup" as "volume up"

Linux does not allow that " cant bind that because you can not use keyboard to type " ( some message like that )

Is there any way to achieve that? Some program similar to autohotkey or a way to change it in Linux it self?

That is it. If i could set those two things up I would switch to linux.

Some other things that are not so important:

a. I would like to install Pot player instead of VCL

b. I would like to use a custom mouse pointer. I wonder if I could use same custom mouse pointer I use in win 7.

c. In win 7 there is a "restore system image" option so I can just return the whole system to the version where everything worked fine.

I assume there is something like that in linux also.

p.s. Where could I find the image that shows when linux lite is loading? The Yellow background with the feather

But it looked better then that one and was not darker at the bottom.

If anything I would like to use that as a desktop background image.
