Hi Linux Lite Community
Just installed Linux Lite on my daughters Sony Varo Netbook which originally ran Windows 7 Starter 32 bit (a woeful operating system). As recommended I checked the Varos hardware against LL configuration database and tried LL using a distro burned to a USB stick – everything worked first time! I did compare LL with Lubuntu ( a bit stark) and Mint Mate and found LL to be the right combination of snappy performance (within the limits of an Intel Atom processor), leanness and features – well done Jerry and the team.
Couple of things to note I found Etcher would not boot up on my Win10 laptop so burned my LL distro using Rufus. Also Lubuntu kept corrupting its distro on the USB stick after a couple of hours running the live distro – is this a known problem with Ubuntu/Debian based distos?
I now have a happy 8 year old who can watch kids Youtube and work on her homework without borrowing Dads laptop.
