Linux Lite Reviews

   Awesome Tool Set, Sensible Menus

   In Linux Lite, applications are named for their function, not their “real” names. A newbie wouldn’t know that Evince is a pdf viewer or that Thunar is the file manager. Linux Lite is for novices who don’t know even what they don’t know. This one little thing is very thoughtful, all by itself. Linux Lite includes a magnificent set of tools to make maintaining and tweaking the OS effortless and non-stressful, with point-and-click simplicity and explanations for us non-tech types. If unsure, there are explanations and the support of this awesome forum, in which the Lead Developer actively participates. That is rare! You can even clean up systemd logs in a couple of mouse clicks! Lite Tweaks is probably the best point-and-click "cleaning and maintenance" application for any Linux distro.

   🏁 Competitors: Linux Mint, MX Linux

Solus OS Reviews

Linux Lite mentions (1)

• How do I hide my linux install so it looks like it doesn’t exist?

  They are using Linux Mint, but you can use something like Xubuntu or even Linux Lite, which would be a great option to run on slower hardware and especially a USB drive. Source: almost 3 years ago

Solus OS mentions (6)

• On the harm shareholders can do to OpenSource

  If you are interested in an excellent, 100% community-based distro without any corporate involvement whatsoever, consider Solus. Source: 10 months ago

• Ubuntu are Evil, Fedora are going down that same road, what to do?

  You might consider Solus OS, an independent that is not derived from Arch, Debian, SUSE, Fedora or anything else. Built from the ground up. I've been using Solus since 2017, and have been happy with it. Solus is focused on the use case of an "ordinary home desktop user", and is remarkably stable and reliable. Solus is a curated rolling release, which means that Solus is always up to date, but nothing is... Source: 10 months ago

• Moving from Kinoite back to mutables

  You might want to take a look at Solus Plasma. Solus is an independent, entirely community-based and community-funded distro, offering KDE Plasma, Budgie and Gnome desktops. Source: 10 months ago

• Good Distro for Beelink PC and Browser Use Only

  Solus MATE. Solus is extremely fast and lightweight. I'd say is perfect for this case. Source: 12 months ago

• Website Situation Update: Main Site Back Online

  The main Solus website (getsol.us) is back online. DataDrake also updated it with some of the changes she's been working on. In the next few days she's going to go back to the datacenter to bring the rest of the infrastructure online. Source: about 1 year ago
