My business and home computers are all Debian. This includes three small servers, one for a private network, and two LAMP. I also own some server space which is also Debian LAMP. My home office has four machines including one 32bit. They all have Debian on them. One of my community services is to offer free Linux beginner instructionals at the local library for new Linux Lite users most who were elderly Windows users introduced to Linux Lite by me or my partner. We chose Linux Lite precisely for its ease of use and gentle learning curve and responsive intuitive GUI. I do have LL 64bit on its own partition on one of my machines, and LL 64bit VM on my main home office machine, and LL 32bit on its own old HP machine. I also have two Windows 10 machines latest builds, though the Sandy Bridge Dell is beginning to get glitchy. Also I would add, a little against convention nowadays my Windows machines are KIS protected and one of my servers is now exploring a KIS Endpoint deployment though I'm not so sure that will happen for me. $$$ being the issue. So yeah I am a geek, an old geek, and a geek with pragmatic $ focused politics. I have one server that runs from base OS Debian LXDE instead of gnome. The rest of my machines are all gnome. I am not an XFCE fan, for several reasons, none of which matter here.
My point in all of this is: Linux Lite itself seems almost like a community service to me. I have experienced first hand the joy people find when using it coming from Windows 7 or 10 usually, as if they have been rescued from a long slow nightmare ending in more $$$ expense and a brand new bigger nightmare.The idea and the implementation that the developers of LL have put together is bright shining success in my opinion.
I will definitely buy a Linux Lite branded laptop if one appears, maybe two. I did use one for remote work LL2.8 for a little while until stretch went stable. Laptops don't linger long with me. I have one old Toshi left efi dual booting Ubuntu LTS and Windows 8, and a Dell with Deb 9 for work.
