Hi,
I apologize that this has sounded somewhat like a "rant". I suppose, however, after using Linux Lite for more than a few years (I think my first install was in the 3.x range, but I am not sure), there was the site redo with all the ads and popups somewhere in 5.x range (I know ads = budget, but come on gang, its excessive), the change from Firefox to Chromium as the default browser (I hate chromium and having to use snap to install firefox), plus the problems I have had with LL 6 boot delays from service failures that seem very tough to disable, and a few other irritations, I finally think I am going back to good old Debian (11). It was what I ran for some time before a friend told me about LL. The other "gotcha" is that I used LL for old laptops to give away (Core Duos with 2-4 GB ram) and it is getting far to bloated for that.
Later gang
Thanks for years of LL
