Before Linux Lite? There was only darkness... 
Had an Amiga... was great but company died.
Had a BeOS machine... was great but company died.
Had/have Windows machine(s)... not great but need for work and gaming.
I then tried Ubuntu 9-10-11 a few years back. Played around with it a few weeks, just long enough to get World of Warcraft working on Linux/Wine at the time... a pain in the posterior. Had to recompile my own sound and video drivers and got the thing running fine, but this was more trouble then fun so I went back to the Dark Side a few years.
Came back about two year ago tried about 30 distros other than a plain ubuntu and landed on Linux Lite (insert angels singing or the 2001 monolith song, your choice  ) . Now I spread this new found hapiness and joy to everyone!

In the Beginning...
There was nothing.
And God said, "Let there be Light!"
And there was still nothing.
But
You could see it.

If you really want to quote the Holy Book, than do it properly
Quote:1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2And the earth was without form, and void;
and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

If you count computers that I had when I was a kid... we had a Texas Intrument TI99/4A, a Coleco Adam, a PC(with turbo ) then a Commodore 64.
Weird thing, over the years, went from Memory Module, to cassette tape, to big floppy, to small floppy, to CD, to DVD and now... to Memory Module again.
Like the lady in Poltergeist said... "The circle is complete...!" (insert the Inception sound).
Cheers!

LOL, my first distro was Mandrake Linux many many moons ago ;D.
Then it was Mandriva. Then I tried Red Hat. Then I stuck with SimplyMepis for a few years. Then I tried Suse (before OpenSuse existed), then I withdrew for a few years. Then I bought a netbook and installed Netbuntu. Then I tried Ubuntu (before the "Unity fiasco"), then went for Fedora, Lubuntu, then tried Xubuntu and stayed there for a few years.
One of those days while in Distrowatch, I read about certain Linux Lite, so I said 'why not?' Donloaded, installed, booted...
...and I could heard the "Haaaleluyah!" singing in the air
I keep trying out new (as in "trendy in the news") distros, like MX, Manjaro, PCLinuxOS, Devuan, etc. But that's on my backup computer. My main computer has LL 3.8 8)
Pathological tweaker.

Stupid as it sounds... a lot of distros just "don't get it"
They should stop trying to reinvent the wheel... "Creators Update" anyone? That one made me LOL.

to 'TheDead'- couldn't agree more. There is a fun post that shows what Windows XP would look like if it was still in development in 2018. That is one thing about XP. It worked. I love a quote I read one time. 20 years ago we wished Linux was like Windows. Now we wish Windows was like Linux.

I never used XP personaly. I used Windows 2000. Tried XP 64 bits for a week went back to 2000. Then when Windows 7 came out I used RC1 for many years and never looked back.
Giving credit where credit is due, Windows 7 WAS the best Windows for users ever, until W10 came out and in a "strange coincidence", MS broke Windows updates for 2 years turning lots of computers in turtoises.
I only have a W10 machine for DirectX 12 with W10 privacy options all enabled (no updates, etc.). W10 being the reason I have came back in Linux full force (tried Ubunto 9-12 a few years back).
XP is a monster on ressources, but if you have XP without SP2 or SP3 it can work on 256MB RAM quite nimbly... but thats ancient history.
