Hello

I'm trying to install linux lite on a 2012 Acer Aspire S7,

I followed the install tutorial : downloading ios, writting the iso on a usb stick, booting with usb stick, booting on live system then installing linux lite following the instruction

Linus will be the only operation system, so i installed using ''erase disk and install linux'' option.
After finishing the install, the only option is to restart the pc but it boots directly on my usb key.

When i restart it without they key, i have a black screen with the mention "BootDevice Not Found"

UEFI is enabled
secure boot is disabled

i tryed reinstalling linux lite with different options, i tryed to use another usb key, with/without internet etc

I can't really know if the issue is from the bios or the key or a bad installation ...

If anyone know a fix !
Thanks a lot for your help !

Hi,

I have a newbie question about the kernel we install regularly when we complete a clean installation of Linux Lite 6.6
I installed Linux Lite yesterday and I have that doubt,

A Linux Lite 6.6 could "give" a different kernel version? or The same Linux Lite could give the same kernel and it doesn't matter how old or new is the hardware or the source where you downloaded Linux Lite?

I have this doubt because I thought I have kernel version 6, but it's 5.15.0-102-generic  hrug

I think not so many people try this thing, because even if you do it successful it surely shorten the lifespan of your computer

But, that's the question

how can anybody overclock a cpu running Linux Lite 6.6? :computer

If someone know it. Please share that information

Hello, people !

Since I bought a SD card to free my storage space at my SSD, I had operational troubles. At first, my LL didn't recognize the SD card. I did a research, and eventually solve the problem. But afterwards my laptop started to freeze at the time I put the SD card in the slot ! My LL is updated. This SD card runs smoothly at other devices, like my smartphone and my tablet.

If this helps someone who wants to help me, this is my inxi -F --filter:

I was able to install MS Edge and had it working..
Now, perhaps after an update.. Edge won't launch/run.. the mouse hourglasses a second and nothing happens./.\

I have uninstall reinstalled rebooted.. even downloaded the package seperate and installed it.. nothing works.

Any suggestions etc appreciated..   

In my case I don't want to risk my cpu or other parts of my computer,

But for people with that "patience" and perhaps some experience with that on another OS

That's the questions:

First, is there a way to speed up the cpu on Linux Lite? :computer
is that a different method if we have a different hardware?

Please explain that detail, Thanks in advance

The release schedule shows version 6.8 releasing 2/1/24.  Will it release later in the year?

Hi,

Probably the people of the staff of this forum is not same who devs, publishes in the website of Linux Lite
but Why not promote itself in every Social Media (Discord, tik tok, Instagram,etc)
how good is Linux Lite 6.6? is it not enough a "mature" Linux project?
Why not at least a Discord with more feedback and grow a lively community...
why not publish memes with info related to Linux?

In my case like any average Linux user of not the latest hardware I always was afraid of Unity, and everytime I thought of any distro similar to Ubuntu it always had Unity and so heavy software, but that's not the case of Linux Lite 6.6 and surprisingly is perhaps the best OS for not the latest computer.

Well, basically there are 2 kind of Linux Lite users one with "minimalistic philosophy" and another with OLD hardware.

And we know when WinXP died Linux grew up with more users,
but this time is "more promising", because nearly at the same time we have some other "events":

-Not only Windows 10 will receive no more support in October 2025, in July 2024 Debian 11 will also "die out". Context, Debian 12 is the latest stable release but it only support the latest Nvidia graphic drivers, AMD for Debian users is not the best choice the latest driver were made in 2015, Debian AMD users share the same driver.. (https://wiki.debian.org/AtiHowTo )

-Not many people know about how good is Linux Lites even with some minor bugs.

I hope people in the staff would think about it, in 2024 without a strong Social Media, a big community will be forever unknown... so not a possible option to try this OS
