And even after they go away to explore other options in the vast, wonderful world of Linux, many may find their way right back here where they started.
There are some great "niche" distros out there in Linuxland to be experienced and enjoyed. I have enjoyed dozens of them, just learning a little along the way. I keep an awesome little 32-bit ultralight Slackware-based OS on an ancient Dell Dimension with 512 megs of RAM, just because I refuse to throw away my very first computer. Even though it's one step up from a friggin' abacus for cry'n out loud. SalixOS keeps that old bugger humming better than new! It's a "niche" distro for old hardware and for Slack fans who prefer a standard GUI. They call it "Linux for Lazy Slackers."
It's been fun! But after exploring and playing and trial and error, pain and pleasure, I keep coming back to nearly where I started for my daily driver. Always reliable, stable, and best of all simple.
Long live Linux Lite!
