By the looks, the Beta is pretty solid. Traditionally we only do a Beta, then Final. My goal is to always make a Beta as solid as possible.

This is literally just about every user, unless they deal with no image files ever. Here it is: I agree with Vera, GIMP can be kind of scary ;D for a newbie that comes from Windoze where he rotated/cropped pictures using M$-Paint.

Swapping is bad for SSDs. And regarding the TRIM command, Trimming daily is waaay better than weekly. Why not leave it at daily, instead of having to 'sudo mv -v /etc/cron.weekly/fstrim /etc/cron.daily' The 'Lite Tweaks' utility is great, so why not enhancing it including clickable ways to run to slim the fat like the commands: sudo apt autoremove sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get autoclean I am pretty sure most of the users migrating from Windoze are regular FB and Twtr users, and do not use 'ancient' communication methods like chat rooms (Pidgin), and keep their email in the cloud as oppossed to in the hard drive (Thunderbird), so why are these apps installed by default? They should be moved to the "Lite Software" downloadable software area. Services like bluetooth, bluez, etc. should be deactivated by default if the installation was done on a hard-wired desktop PC. ...same for services like modem-manager-service, mobile-broadband-provider-info, wpa_supplicant, and a few others. During the installation, us users should be asked IF we wish to 'share' with Windoze, if we don't, then DO NOT ENABLE 'samba' nor 'smb-whatever', by default. ...and if no need to access a networked printer, disable 'cups-browsed'. ...same for Apple devices, we should be asked IF we wish to 'sync' an Apple device, if we don't, then DO NOT ENABLE 'mDNS', 'Avahi-whatever', by default. During the installation, us users should be asked IF we wish to use a virtualization app. If the answer is no, then DO NOT install/activate virtualbox, qemu, etc., by default. All the regular ..buntus keep calling home via a fake user and a service named 'whoopsie'. Please erradicate this from Linux Lite. A look at the Linux forums and you'll see that slow boots are VERY VERY OFTEN due to usual suspects like: apt-daily.service, apt-daily-update.service, NetworkManager-wait-online.service, avahi-daemon.service, ubiquity.service, motd-news.service, Regarding xfce there are still a few useful panel plugins that could be included in LL: http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/start The system-wide font should continue being NotoSans or DroidSans. They are the most perfectly hinted, modern, fonts currently. At the end of the installation, when the system is cleaning-up, why not get rid of casper, ubiquity? Please note this is all based in my personal opinions. You be the judge, the wisdom is great in you. |
