Hello all. This is my first post. Hope it’s in the right spot. I’ve been aware of Linux Lite since version 3.8. I recently installed version 4.0 on a few laptops and a desktop I have. I intend to give these away to people who need them, but aren’t to techie or self inclined. I personally enjoy using Linux Lite as it works well for me on older hardware in comparison to Ubuntu, which I have used for years. So, my question that I have is:
When the upgrades happen within a series, will I get a automatic notification letting me know, or will I have to manually check lite upgrades to see if one is available? My thought is, with me giving these pc’s away, how hard is it gonna be for the end users to keep the system up to date with the upgrades every 5 months or so. So far on my own desktop, I haven’t gotten a notification that 4.2 is available. Should I  have gotten an automatic notification? I have turned on automatic daily update notifications, but does that also cover upgrades too? Just wanted to figure that out. I haven’t got an automatic notification pop up for updates or upgrades as of yet. My updates notify is set to daily at 7pm. Manually checking will produce updates needed, and manually checking upgrades will show that 4.2 is available. If possible I  would like to see a pop up saying a new version is available. Is that suppose to happen? Thanks for any and all feedback.

Speaking of gaming on Linux, I believe we should first of all begin with listing the clean native Linux titles, perhaps primarily with those available in the repository. Any notable mentions?

You may call it a "chronic flex", to me, I am just trying to spread the word, HERE is a guide on how to make Quake2 run on Linux without respirator.

EDIT:

In fact, all classic iD software games have the support of game-data-packager, but Quake2 is remarkably neat and well done with the modern, cross-platform and multicompatible Yamagi sourceport at hand. Other games feature Doom^3, which unfortunately slugs even under the Dhewm^3 sourceport, Quake 4 which suffers an audio eclipse due to lack of modern sourceport involved, as well as - to be understood - the classic Doom arrays, Wolfenstein representatives and perhaps some few other, which I did not try.

Just wanted to say the aesthetic integrity and design of the LinuxLite is superb and this is one of the things which got me lured into using Linux, but not simply the Linux, as in particular the LinuxLite. I can hardly name any distro which I would turn to in case Jerry decided to be a professional golfist instead of a software engineer involved with Linux. Maybe I would give the basic Debian a shot, maybe.

Forgot to tweak LL boot in boxes, but it does load so be patient. XFCE launcher is certainly a breeze to work with compared to gnome3. Can launch the script completely with the interface already loaded in firefox. This is just a demo of what can be done with an html interface to an API script. You can tell that gnuplot is very fast for this sort of thing by how long it takes the script to run and download and plot (6graphs) and load the interface (maybe 10 seconds to complete). Anyway continuing with the project. Have an html table template now for loading the batch_quotes with a nicer look and will implement it soon.

I think the preinstalled software should be present in the LiteSoftware, for the sake of convenience.

For example, I would immediately purge Firefox and Thunderbird, as well as the VLC. For their place, I tend to install respectively Chromium, nothing and MPV media player, although for the last instance, this may unnecessarily be an exact replacement.

For the GIMP, I perfectly see why it is a default choice, though once I remember trying to change the format of an image, I used Pinta, since GIMP was giving me some trouble. Either way, any preinstalled software featured in the LiteSoftware would seem fair and clear.

Perhaps Audacious could also be the thing as an alternative to the Clementine, albeit I can see in what way many instances of the samewise service make for a confusion?

I am glad you added Redshift, I am using it constantly since my switching to Linux, which I find much more eyesight friendly compared to the Windows10 nightview mode, that I found much oppressive somehow.

Is the Baobab - known also as the disk usage analyser - present in the default system setup? Simplescreenrecorder is popular, to mention stuff further.

When I change the names of menus and icons to language specific - other than contemporary Roman - the desktop icons disappear. When I return to English and log back, they appear again. I believe this is a bug.

Hello

Booting takes huge amount of time.
Its a performance bug.

Any logs which I can share which will help dev team?

Hello

0. FF, file manager and few other apps are running
1. Update the OS
2. Take a reboot. While taking a reboot, DEselect "save session"

Bug: After the new login, FF, file manager etc are present.

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a ice life!

Just found this article https://www.securepatterns.com/2018/10/c...erver.html while googling. I don't mean to raise any alarms whatsoever, just wondering whether this has been addressed...do we even have to worry about this issue?

From the article:

"X.org X Server application is vulnerable to privilege escalation issue. X.org X Server  application allows lower privileged user to create or overwrite file anywhere on system , including files owned by privileged users (ex. /etc/shadow).

The attacker needs to have active console session to exploit this issue."
