Linux Lite 4.0 - Sneak peeks

[valtam]

I'll wait until after release to see what the general feedback on the Lite Sounds interface is. To date I've gotten friends and people I've installed LL for (new to Linux people, our actual target audience), and they love it's simplicity. Simplicity is so 2018.

If size is wished to reduce at future times, can be reduce by -
add tick on to, by editing, enable icon
add red circle/line, or x, on to, by editing disable icon
remove text on all their buttons, add text as a mouseover info for each icon/button.
This can maybe be up to 75% smaller GUi.

It means space for 3x3 GUI, x3 button per row/x3 rows  -
enable icon |  disable icon | Test

Where Test button Launches Volume control then it doesn't need a row to itself

Jerry,

May I ask what is your opposition to having UEFI compatibility for Linux Lite?  Linux Lite has non free software so I know that cannot be the reason.  I'm surprised you want to limit the market for it.

[member=6229]SleepyD[/member] to be honest, I've answered that question so many times on these Forums, it's getting to the point where I'm done with the subject. There is more at stake here than limiting a market. I would gladly sacrifice popularity for ethics.

Jerry,

I have a suggestion.  Could you pin a post at the top of the forums in regards to the UEFI issue so people don't have to scour the forum for answers?  You would just have to do it one time.  You could then paste the link for that post in  any posts regarding UEFI.

Jerry, I think this is a good idea.
My reasoning for saying this is that I think many of those migrating from Windows OS to LL, don't have the insight or experience to know why UEFI technology is a backward step. I was one of these people, back in 2014, when I made the 'jump', though of course have seen the light since.  Being new to Linux, and seeing most distros adopting UEFI support, many newbies naturally assume it's the thing to do ...

Glad to hear it Jerry 
I am too!

Can't wait for LL4.0 - it looks really exciting - another 5 years of LL bliss!
Keep up the great work 8)

PS. I've put your weblink as a URL link on my Desktop to prompt me to redirect others should they ask ...

Thank you Jerry for the UEFI post.  I will look up what you said about the security of UEFI.  I will use Linux Lite 3.8 until it is no longer supported.  I can't see changing to MBR.  I like distro hopping.  From what I've read, it is supposed to be easier to manage multiple partitions with UEFI.
