Here is the thing. When you buy a brand new computer, It does not matter which operating system
you install into it - your new system must obey the OS, which is - in many cases - years behind
your shining new hardware.

This is one very good reason to use older hardware (5-10 years old or so), since people who make
device drivers and such for those chips and motherboards, have had enough time to
fine-tune every little detail.

And that is why LL, which is an OS for "older hardware" runs so fast and smooth in these older laptops.
The drivers are finally ready!   But people who buy their laptops now, will need to wait a good amount
of time until their new hardware has good software support.

A new computer is of course a new computer, it has it's benefits and it will probably run LL crazy fast and smooth.
However, there is no way out of the fact that their capacity must wait until the software catches up.

Just my humble opinion

Пользуюсь Linux Lite 4.0 уже пару недель, дистрибутив очень нравится. Но заметил одну неприятную вещь: в некоторых приложениях (в Double Commander и PlayOnLinux в частности) наблюдаются проблемы с отображением некоторых элементов управления:


При смене темы оформления на любую другую все отображается нормально, но очень нравится именно Adapta. Возможно, кто-нибудь сталкивался с подобной проблемой и может подсказать как с ней справиться или по крайней мере указать, в каком направлении искать решение. Заранее спасибо.

Getting ready to order a new laptop  , it comes with Ubuntu pre-installed and since i will be purchasing extended warranty and support for 2 years I will need to keep Ubuntu for that time frame until I can install LL. Thus, my query...since I LOVE LL, and it is based on Ubuntu, will I be satisfied with using Ubuntu for that time frame? I know I could NOT have used W10 for 2 years! Am I making a mistake?
Don't know if this is pertinent/needed for a reply...the laptop is a Dell XPS 13 Developer edition that can be ordered with Ubuntu (not a developer, just want the specs). 8th Gen i5, 8GB, 256 SSD, very small and lightweight for travel. Purchased a low priced desktop with good specs previously and immediately installed LL, didn't care about the warranty with a low price, but this will be different...way more $'s.

Well it might not be a good news for everyone but i hope not .
After almost giving up on my laptop because of it lagging extremely even on lubuntu 32bit (like wtf it requires 256mb ram)
i decided to buy a 2gb stick of ram just for testing and boom the system worked amazingly that i even decided to try 64bit windows 7 which took more ram but boosted my CPU as well so that ram upgrade was really worth it anyway, after the new 4.0 LL update i definitely had to come back especially that now i get to taste the whole Linux experience and after trying almost every Linux OS i understood why everyone prefers xfce , and whats the best xfce Linux OS i know , you got it
anyway leave you from that i hope that everything here is fine and that you all are having good time i think that the new 4.0 announcement thread is the best of all announcement and i hope that you can forgive me if i intentionally or not disturbed you may we start a new page and well , LETS MAKE IT A HECK OF A PAGE. 8) 8)

how to disable/change the alt + (left)click shortcut that moves the window?

I didn't find this shortcut in the keyboard or mouse settings...

Thanks.

I'm script automating several items to use LibreOffice Calc from the terminal, successfully, but with one caveat. I get the ALSA library error when using the LL system sounds. I like the system sounds to be used, but I need a script for turning it off or on when Calc is started from the terminal. Either will work. A sample of the script is below. If I completely turn off system sounds it runs without errors. I want the syetm sounds to keep working. It would be nice to change the ALSA permissions for LibreOffice somehow.

#!/bin/bash
wget -q -P /home/user/test/temp/ "https://www.someapi.co/query?function=TI...tatype=csv"
libreoffice --calc /home/user/test/temp/* .csv

Update: I am getting a 3617 error for Alsa which essentially points to an incomplete installation. I'm guessing LO Calc is only partially installed.

Hello Friends! 

I want set config for alignment and binding application windows as liked OS Windows by keys <SUPER><RIGHT> or <SUPER><LEFT>. I can use mouse cursor for drag and snap window to display edge now. I need assign hotkeys.This option in placement in [Settings ►Window Manager panel ► Keyboard tab].

On the Keyboard tab of Window Manager Settings:
- Tile window to the top
- Tile window to the bottom
- Tile window to the left
- Tile window to the right

But, there was a problem with keybinding. Because, when I set <WIN><RIGHT> action don't work. Main menu open firstly. Instead of it, I assign <ALT><WIN><RIGHT>, that solution is working. But it requires an extra key, which is quite unusual

This problem is also observed in other hotkey combinations where it is used key <SUPER>

How to fix it?

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life!
Well, I finally managed to get this Icon Theme almost perfect. There's still a couple of things I haven't been able to figure out how to solve yet, but so far so good! I started a post back then in February https://www.868212.xyz/forums/deskt...con-theme/  and there I spoke about some icons sizes being too big. Now, with a few exceptions most icons sizes are fine. Check it out:





But like I said, there's a couple of things I have yet to solve



AS you can see, some icons for the right click context menu are too big.

While for some apps like mousepad, icons for dialog boxes are quite big too



Also, I noticed mimetypes are not showed as they should, for instance, compressed files look like this



But it should be something like this. They used to but since last modifications I made to the icon set they don't now .



If anyone has any idea, suggestions, they'll be more than welcome

Thanks!

I'm a beginner on linux lite, when I try an update, I have an error list that stops the process :

Maybe I only installed something that's not right, but what?

thanks
