I have played with different Linuxes for years-always under VirtualBox. I have been seriously testing many Linux flavors lately since I plan on dedicating a decent computer and serving up webpages soon. So far I have played with a ton of Linuxes-Manjaro,Mint,Cinnamon,Ubuntu,Elemantary,PcLinux,Centos,Puppy...more,but you get the point.
Being a DOS then every version of Windows user and then much later a linux beginner (that is slightly above noob),they have ranged from hair pulling, to frustrating, to not bad, to almost there (Peppermint was almost there),to....
Linux Lite is the winner for me. It just clicks! I get it.
Trying all these Linuxes has changed my computer habits for the worse. Lets be clear-this is NOT any Linux's fault.If anyone's "fault" it is the fault of VirtualBox. When booting the Virtual Machine, Virtualbox turns off the num lock on the keyboard-not that big of a deal,but can be very annoying when you are trying as many Linuxes as I have lately. Now in Windows or a VirtualBox session, everytime before I use the number pad for a split second I think "is num lock on? is num lock off? is it on? is it off? on? off?" Repeat that 5,000 times a day and you see it gets a bit disconcerting.
But not LinuxLite!
Somewhere there is a LinuxLite genius programmer that wrote the equivalent of this code:
If NumLock is off then turn it on
If NumLock is on then leave it on
Brilliant! I think it is the small thoughtfull touches that makes LinuxLite stand out.
It clicks!
