Some old school Linux users/developers may hate the idea of wizards and user interfaces for simple tasks but I think all Linux users need to realise that this is a desktop distro not a server distro.
#Linux lite 4.6 review install#
The welcome screen is a guide on important post install tasks and links to support and documentation. It’s a small thing but seeing a welcome screen on first boot bodes well because it shows that the developers are putting users first. On a side note I really think the feather logo looks dated and for a distro that started in 2003 a better logo is long overdue. Impressed with it’s speed, my expectations for this distro were starting to grow. Post installĪfter a reboot, I was presented with the log in screen which was very quick to boot (about 10 secs). I installed this installation on my review machine. I found the whole install process simple and straightforward and I could easily imagine a complete beginner being able to follow along and complete a successful installation. You can download the 32bit version or the 64bit version (recommended) and create a live linux USB drive. This distro is based on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS which means it’s supported for 5 years and the install process is very similar to Ubuntu.

“Linux Lite is fully functional out of the box…we take the hassle out of trying to find the right software from the start”. This distro covers both areas by being very lightweight and as well as being ready to use after install with minimal configuration this is what the developers of LInux Lite have to say: Linux is fast and reliable but can sometimes be hard to get used to, especially for beginners.
