Linux Lite 3.0 Suggestion Thread

- Looking at adding Ubuntu Extras by default (seems to have codecs people are use to on Windows ootb)

In some countries shipping with codecs is illegal. That's why Ubuntu doesn't include them by defaulft.

This can be resolved by providing a codec-free iso image of Linux Lite. Same as Mint does with their Mint 17.x versions. But that doesn't prevent people from, let's say USA, to download the version with all the codecs built in. But as distro provider you can say that you did obey the laws.....

What about if the Ubuntu software center is installed by default

To liamjake05,

That has been addressed in the following thread https://www.freecinema2022.gq/forums/on-to.../#msg16581.  A replacement to the Ubuntu Software Center is forthcoming.  Perhaps that will be a consideration for a future Linux Lite release.

Hello!

The Bluetooth mod, as posted in the forums? Been expecting this to be incorporated eventually, for Bluetooth audio support out of the box.

No one else has this, so it would give LL an edge. Adding it myself every time is a real drag...

Hi N4RPS, I have addressed that issue in the BT thread.

Maybe good idea for some users, but i use Synaptic which provides me a more powerful tool to install/remove programs. The Ubuntu software center doesn't show you everything what's going on when you install a program. I had a past experience whit Software center installing a program while in the background not clearly made visible removing another program together with system dependent packages screwing up my installation. Synaptic shows you much better what will be installed, removed and/or replaced. I find this much better info.

I would like to see a section added to Lite Tweaks that allows the user to pick a kernel that works best with their hardware, if it is possible I would like to see older kernels like 3.13 added to that section also. I think this would help prevent people with older machines from having to look for an alternative or having to stick to an older version of Linux Lite.  I think that this all depends on the choices made in the version of Ubuntu that 3.0 will be based on, but would really like to see it.

A big +1!!!
The only distro who provides such an option is Linux Mint through their Update Manager. It works excellent and you can select the best kernel suited for your system. Every distro should have a similar tool like that instead of "fooling and joking" around to get the latest kernel installed.

This must be what I was also recommending on February 08, 2016, 12:30:48 PM but did not remember what distro it was in.

Could Lite Kernel Cleaner be modified for this to show recommended and LTS kernel?



I think I would be want the LTS kernel.  :-\
