Today, we announced on Social Media our desire to listen to feedback about what people want to see in Linux Lite 2.6 when it's released in September. Since work has already begun on this, we'd like to start implementing some of these ideas into the system now. Keep in mind this operating system is built on a foundation of stable, tried and true software, for example we wouldn't include the latest XFCE just because it's available.

I'm really looking forward to all of your suggestions :)

I came from Windows XP and Windows XP had automatic updates where it would automatically download updates.

It would be nice if Linux Lite had something similar to that, a feature where it would check if any updates are available for the OS and give us options on whether we want it to check for updates either daily, weekly, or monthly. and of course have an option to turn it off for people who don't want it on.

Thanks Shady, that feature is currently under development, but still requires a lot of work :)

Hi,

I'm brand new to linuxliteos, and very impressed. I've been looking for a smooth and light distro for a friend with a vista-era box. I've tried several, all good, but none quite right. I think LL is the closest yet. It's obviously carefully thought out, and I'm impressed with it's smoothness and elegance and unity as a package. The desktop dynamics are very workable, including copy/paste functionality and a functioning Start key on the keyboard. I think there is a strong market for a user-friendly alternate to Windows, and even more so as MS ventures into a subscription model.

• A couple of things I would suggest. I found the file manager and the text editor a bit too basic. I installed PCManFM and g-edit to replace them, but it doesn't seem that either of these can be made the system default through the menu.
  
• Like all ubuntu derivatives I have tried, I have to log into the keyring and the LAN at each boot in order to access shares. There also doesn't seem to be a(n easy) way to set DT shortcuts or FM bookmarks for external shares.
  
• I would also suggest a little more in the theme department. At least one dark theme would be good, and for the sake of the friend for whom I am preparing the current box, access items such as large mouse pointers and text cursors would be great.
  

Great job. Very impressed.

Blessings,

Thanks paul1149, you're feedback is appreciated.
Re. the keyring issue, that is a pain. When you get it the first time, click 'Continue' twice without entering any password. That will stop the prompt returning. Delete the keyrings in /home/user/.local/share/keyrings/ (press Ctrl+H to see hidden folders)

Re. Dark theme - we're working on a all-in-one Theme pack. It will contain - mouse, icon and themes in one easy to install package. It will include a nice dark theme. Cheers :)

Hi Jerry,


Some time ago you mentioned/posted about having an "On-Line" Backup/Sync solution.?
Can that be looked at again, probably to late for 2.6, but 2.8.?


In my Windows days, I tried many of them, over many years.
I eventually stuck with SugarSync, still have it my 1 Windows VM.

Hi Paul,
Take a look at this thread,
https://dfgkh547-jsdfv8.iyhkj.tk/forums/netwo...2/#msg3902


I have shares mounted at boot-up with full R/W, and they are shown in Thunar and within applications.

((Jerry, Sorry for usurping thread, paul1149 start a thread under Networking if you need to))

All good Dave :) The online backup solution is still 'in the pipeline'.

Pretty nice the way it is but if you have to add just one new feature, could you make it turn into a hot chick who likes giving massages?
