Linux Lite 5.0 is really impressive and an overall improvement on an already great 4.8.
Installation om my new computer went really smooth. My old computer could not install it, yet it did install 5.0 RC1 with no problems.
My computer dual boots with Windows 10. I use LL for personal/hobby use. Windows at the University.
What I really like.
- That the iso file fits on a 3" DVD
- No screen tearing, unlike 4.8, where I had to google a solution for that
- Simple scan now works over network instead of USB cable.
- The selection of software is really nice
- My laptop's keyboard functions are nearly identical to those in Windows 10.
- Beautiful, uncluttered and holistic layout
- Windows/WINE applications can more easily be added to the panel.
- MP3 files now show the embedded artwork, instead of the icon
- 5.0 is generally a lot more user friendly to new users of Linux, than 4.8.
Things I noticed
- I simply couldn't get my HP3630 printer to work. Not a dealbreaker, I'll just print in Windows 10.
- When you use the brightness keys, a bell is showed, instead of the usual sun.
- The update icon in the taskbar is coloured, but should be the same colour as the rest. Also, I'd like to remove it, if possible.
- The icons on the desktop are named different, compared to the menus. It is easy to rename them, though.
- There is a not a Lite Upgrade in the Settings menu (yet).
- In the newly installed GRUB 2.04 the OS is listed as Ubuntu.
