Re: Promoting LXDE

. It's legal because it is a private school. Catholic schools exist in many countries and the teachings in those schools is much more religious that the Christian schools here in the states. All private schools in the USA are seeing enrollments increase with all the hullabaloo going on with Critical...

Re: Promoting LXDE

. What is that? I surely heard of schools (public, local, private, whatever) but never "Christian school". I read that 3 times to be sure I was reading it correctly. I can't be 100% certain if it is sarcasm or if you really don't know. In the event you don't know, A Christian school is a f...

Re: Promoting LXDE

With the increase in the availability of inexpensive RAM in today's world, there is very little reason not to increase the eye candy and most of the folks out there appear to want it so the developers give it to them. Back when 256 MB or 512 MB was alot of RAM, it made sense to look for ways to to ...

Re: Promoting LXDE

I run a Linux User Group and we accept donated computers clean them up, install additional RAM, and then install a Linux OS on them in preparation of donating them to individuals who cannot afford to buy a new computer. Many are really amazed how fast and efficient a Linux OS is, but there is the L...

Re: Promoting LXDE

. As I mentioned a few times, some distros offer LXDE as an installer option (e.g. Debian and, iirc, OpenSUSE) - have you tried that as well? No, I haven't. I gave some thought to trying OpenSUSE and selecting to install LXDE, but I never did it. I suppose I really should try at least a couple of di...

Re: Promoting LXDE

. OTOH, most people have hardware far more capable than what LXDE requires, and they want something that makes use of that. I understand that. I don't necessarily agree with that train of thought, but I do understand it. To me, it only makes sense to attempt to minimize the resources used by the ope...

Promoting LXDE

While I'm logged in this evening, I thought I'd ask another question. I guess this is the best place for this. If not, feel free to move it wherever. I know there are literally tens of thousands of Linux users worldwide that are searching for lightweight Linux distros both to revive older computers ...

Ubuntu Cleaner and Bleachbit

This isn't so much about needing help as it is asking for opinions. I have used both Ubuntu Cleaner and Bleachbit for 10 years, give or take, to keep my systems cleaned out a little bit. I have never once had a problem using either of these programs to clean things up. If I recall correctly, Ubuntu ...

Re: Editing Menu with PCManFM

. But hey, thanks, that's a useful hint. No problem. I keep finding ways to do things by accident. LXDE is a lot more configurable than I first thought. Yes, it's a lot lighter than other DMs, but I'm finding it's not nearly as unfriendly as most people (me included) think. Combined with Openbox, I ...

Re: Changing Mint XFCE to LXDE

. Yeah, you pretty much hit the nail on the head. That sums it up really well. I want just what I want and I'm just not that enthused about having to jump through too many hoops to get there. This Mint XFCE to LXDE I did is working out perfectly. I know there are still some more packages I should be...
