Linux Lite 2 Performance Review & Some Queries

[newtusmaximus]

As a complete linux newbie, all I needed was a distro that truly worked out of the box with my pc/laptops  and peripherals.  LL did that with the minimum of fuss - some minor keyboard set up niggles.

The result was a fast and stable platform.  Key additional  "business" software found and  installed easily without issues.

Problems with firefox easily resolved with detailed help from this forum.

I have since installed LL on several other peoples laptops without major issues and they are still acclimatising.

Unfortunately I did have  boot up issues (possibly iiyama driver problem) with an HP desktop and iiyama CRT monitor and had to return to Mint where the the issues were less pronounced .

BTW Puppy linux USB never had these boot up issues???  Possibly iiyama driver loaded sooner/quicker.

Fortunately the higher spec meant that the desktop did not slow down too much wih Mint.

My only concern is that LL is a young distribution and as such a small developer community i.e that there may be longevity issues should adverse circumstances occur.

IMHO, fhe purpose of a OS for the majority of users is as a vehicle - a means to an end-  with the aim of being simple to install, compatible with a wide range of peripherals etc, and stable.  I.e a platform  from which to do other things.  LL does that "simply" .
