Linux Lite 7.8 - User level 4/10.

I have installed the boot os on a smaller SSD drive and keep my user files on a muck larger drive which is backed up weekly.

The issue is if I click the 'home' icon folder on the desktop it goes to the smaller drive (not a huge deal) and if I go to the file location on the 
larger drive and delete a file it does not go into the recycle bin but is deleted permanently.

So I am looking for a way to set the location of the user folder and recycle bin.  I have looked for a utility to do so without success, would be a great feature.

Any help is appreciated.

As the title says, the Help Manual is to be replaced by our new Wiki.
I've finished migrating all of the content from the Manual to the Wiki.

Points to note:

- Wiki will replace Help Manual wording and link at the top of the Linux Lite OS Menu.
- With this new format, anyone can contribute easily, in the next few days I'll be integrating it into Gitlab so people can add to the Wiki.
- Wiki is 80% complete, mostly Contents links to organize.

Feel free to proof read it.

I'm very excited about this change. I hope that most of you are too

Out of all of the feedback I receive, a large portion of it regards how busy it looks and how it can be hard to find things.

Hopefully, this is all now resolved. Still a few bits and pieces to tidy up but overall I'm happy with the result.

Let me now what you think.

I'm having trouble getting proper Intel graphics support on Linux Lite 7.4. My system uses an Intel Atom/Celeron/Pentium x5-E8000 (Braswell) CPU with integrated graphics.

System Info:
Distro: Linux Lite 7.4 
Kernel:  6.8.0-71-generic
GPU: Intel HD Graphics (Braswell family)
Current renderer : llvmpipe ( LLVM 19.1.1, 128 bits)
Without setting boot parameter to nomodeset I can't even get into the system.

Well,
I do have a rather a big problem about my programming...
Well I use Pelles 'C to program in C using Linux Lite since
a long time (it started with lite 3.8)... and so going away
from Windows as Pelles' C is a windows program... 
It when well for years and years... but last week I had
to reinstall my computer and the 5.8 I did used the last
years (and was doing it's job very well) had to be renewed
again as the rest of my software... starting the 5.8 lite again
was a disaster as it does install anymore... it stops somewhere
in the second half of the install... ok... then going to lite 6.6...
why not ??? But 6.6 doesn't work with wine anymore... ok 
one can run a program but in a very bad way... Q4wine
doesn't work... the wine program screen shows no wine
programs and whatever... 6.6 isn't Ubuntu anymore but 
some strange other program that makes it impossible
to turn into the normal programming system... did try
a lot of programs for the last two weeks while 5.8 did
install wine in a few seconds... sad... sad... I have to go
to windows again... I left it 15 years ago... Well... 

I looked through the previous posts and couldn't find anything similar to my issue. I hope someone can help.
I am currently switching my daily driver from Windows due to not having a Windows 11 capable PC and have been unable to decide which distro I like best. 
I am solely trying debian for now, as I have been playing with it on and off for years. I feel comfortable with it at the moment.

I have tried MOST debian distros and like some more than others, but seem to always come back to xubuntu. I had forgotten about lite completely.
However, when I try to install it on my PC, it just will not install. My PC has been xubuntu, sparky, mint, mx, peppermint and few others over the last few weeks and NONE of these have had any issues like I am getting with lite. My ISO of lite runs perfectly on my xubuntu in a VM, and it loads and runs fine on three other PC's I have tried. I know my hardware and the ISO are OK.
The  installer for lite runs OK, it shows the spinning circle as it loads in the background, and then I get a blank greyish screen and nothing further. It simply will not load the desktop as viewable. I have tried the ISO via Ventoy, as I have done with all the others that all install and run fine, and I have tried it burned to a USB on it's own. BOTH have the same result, it appears to be installing, then no display comes up. I am running an RTX 3060 12Gb video card and dual monitors via display port to HDMI output, but this is the only debian distro that has this issue, all the rest work as they should. During the time the installer is viewable, the spinning wheel is on BOTH monitors and at the correct resolution, so whatever display driver it's using works up to this point at least. I have waited for it to load something for as long as 20 minutes and no screen has ever come up. I am at a TOTAL loss now.
Does ANYONE have any idea what could be going wrong ?? If I try the installer version so it displays the install as it runs, the ONLY error it gets is the network, which has nothing to do with the display.  The ISO I'm using is v7.2. PLEASE HELP...this is very curious

And a side note for the devs, the 7.6 RC1 ISO doesn't work either, it only throws an error message asking for a missing kernel and doesn't get past the first boot screen, with ANY of the installer options. But it works FINE in a VM.....

Hello,
Ok I did switch from my 5.8 (not supported anymore) to 6.6...
I do use Wine a lot and it works on 6.6...
But when i load the Q4Wine it does install... getting to the screen console
it says winecinsole: Starting program - backend=user cmd failed.
The command is invalid.

So programming is out of the question...
What to do ???
Greetings
Ren

I spent several hours - rolled into days trying to sort out the updates; including reinstalling Linux Lite several times, and till no luck with the updates installing.

Another thing I've noticed; whenever I tried the reboot (after I'm instructed to remove the USB drive), press enter key, I get an error, whereby the years keeps scrolling and won't stop until I press the power/off button on the laptop keyboard.

It's a Dell Latitude E-6220 laptop.
