I have installed linux lite 2.8 on over a dozen boxes now, many times along side windows7 and 10, on machines as old as ten years, up to brand new. I repair windows machines and networks for personal and small business users. Every personal user customer I have gotten to try linux lite has converted wholly, some within a few days. The functionality of the GUI configuration tools is excellent. My everyday main system is Debian Jessie on its own disk, and Kali linux on a second disk to which I have added a partition for linux lite 2.8. For years I have installed Kubuntu on my customers windows systems as an alternative, but I have become disenchanted with KDE of late, even though I began there around 2000 with a boxed Suse linux CD set. I have had very few issues with linux lite installations that required the terminal. It is amazing how far we have come. It is an excellent piece of software for windows converts. I use the new lxle posh on my laptop, 2.4G cpu, but in all honesty I suspect that linux lite would be easier on the cpu because of some kernel configurations. I'm looking into why. I will continue to test linux lite on every new machine I get the opportunity to load it to. I am available for questions.

I just installed the latest LinuxLite 3. I plugged in my Nexis 7 and am able to mount it but am unable to view the contents. It says 0 items in thunar. What do I need to do to get this to work? I believe I have MTP installed.

What are the advantages of moving to 3.0 instead of just staying with 2.8? I think 2.8 will be supported until April 2019. :-\

Congratulations on V3.0. Everything I have tested works fine but just 3 problems you might like to know about.
1. I cannot find a 'Restart' button. The icon in the menu is just a logout option. Adding the applet to the panel offers 'logout', 'shutdown' etc but not 'restart'. The only way to restart is to logout and then restart form the menu on the login panel. Am I missing the obvious?
2. The printer problem is common to all Ubuntu distros I have tested. IT applies to Epson XP310. The installer identifies the printer and finds a driver. I accept the license, message "Installing Driver" then takes me back to the driver search screen. This behaviour repeats over and over. Has anybody else encountered this with any printer? I am surprised that the Printer installer is not included in the Settings Manager as it is with most other distros.
3. My mouse cursor disappears, particular if I logout or lock screen and then return. If I logout again and login the cursor has returned.
4. One observation, that is purely subjective, is the default theme and window settings. The Title bar merges with the panel and other windows. It is difficult to identify to click and move a window. I solve this by using the Moheli window style.

I recently bought a new HP Envy 750 with built in Video Intel® HD Graphics 530 [Display adapter]
LinuxLite is running inside Virtual Box.
(I installed it on 6/1/2016)
Commend this release, reminds me of LinuxMint. I was a tinkerer but now just want my OS to work :-)
All below inside Virtual Box:
Ubuntu 16.04 Unity - Chromium and Chrome do not work (corrupted screen) Firefox works.
LinuxMint 17.3 Cinnamon - Chromium and Chrome do not work (corrupted screen) Firefox works.
LinuxLite 3 - Chromium works but when trying to play videos in Facebook, said videos are corrupt. Firefox works.
Just curious if this was a known issue as I can get buy on Firefox just fine but my preference is Chrome.

An old problem has resurfaced. I know for a fact this is NOT a Linux Lite fault. When you close Firefox and start it again quickly, it tells you that Firefox is already running. So you have to reboot the computer. It seems with each version of Firefox they either add more junk you don't want, or it crashes, or just plain buggy. As for this problem, it happened in Windows 7 & 10 on various FF versions. If I remember, the problem started with FF in the early version 30's. So if this happens to anyone just reboot your computer & then we wait for the next version of Firefox. Maybe Jerry will consider adding 'Pale Moon' to the next release of LL. - Or maybe I will, he said to himself.
