cut down linux lite 64 bit?

[m654321]

Nonetheless the idea of having a "minimum" install option - or an install option allowing to choose the web browser coming by default, from among at least three to choose from - could come in handy.

First, LL is already pretty minimal (hence the name 'Lite'), coming with none of the bloat of many other distros.

Second, the target audience for LL, are those migrating from Windows OS who, in the main, are not familiar or comfortable with Linux. Consequenctly,  Jerry & the Team have made great efforts to provide cross-platform apps in the LL package that will, in general, be familiar to migrating Windows users. If one starts cutting these out, leaving the building of the distro to a new user's choice, especially if they're not 'techy', it wont help and is likely to be counterproductive.

Third, Jerry has already said previously that he & the team don't have the time or energy to have a second version (e.g. Arm version for Raspberry pi)  or provide LL with a variety of desktop versions, etc. They are, afterall, a team of volunteers with a life outside LL. This issue of another version has come up more than once in the last five years I've been here, though he does encourage anyone who wants to develop a new offshoot (as you're suggesting) to have a go. Sorry, I don't wish to dampen your enthusiasm, just provide a few explanations ...
