Linux Lite is now 4 years old

[torreydale]

Two months ago, I remember responding to a frustrated Linux Lite 3.0 user who wrote, "no wonder LL has fallen down so much on distrowatch."  I looked today and noticed the following.  If you look at Distrowatch's Page Hit Ranking for the Last 6 months, and you removed the distros that have been around longer than 4 years, this is what you would get:

1) Ubuntu MATE
2) LXLE
3) Linux Lite

So on its 4th anniversary, Linux Lite is 3rd of the distros that have been around 4 years or less.

Cheers!

If you've looked at the DW Hit Page Rank's for the last few weeks, there are a number of distros in the top 20 that have slid down on a regular basis. I'd sit up and take notice if we went from 21 to 81. Nice statistic, thanks torreyday

The thing that is great, and bad, about Linux is there are so many of them. For people who are comfortable with using Linux it's always fun to try out another distro. Imagine the lifer windows user trying to pick out a Linux OS to try. Bigger, more well known distros are slipping because of the sheer numbers of OS's to try. The good news for Linux is that in the total number of computer users that use Linux is growing:

What really interests me is that the use of Windows 10 is falling, and Windows 7 is growing. Next Spring (2017) is 'End of Life' for windows Vista.  Remember the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition: "It's always good to know about new customers before they walk in your door." (#194)

And what bit rate CPUs do you think the Vista users will have been using in the majority?

[bayoubooger]

this CPU had vista and it has LL 3.0 alone, been a piece of work getting it running, but I miss vista like the black plague...

Ubuntu Mate over Linux Lite?????

What is this? A Presidential Poll??

Somebody has GOT to be fudging the numbers!!

This guy explains it great in "Linux sucks" (before I get cussed out,it is NOT what the title implies):

Also there is a good chance Windows 10 is the last Windows. Sounds absurd, many insiders are saying this. Makes sense. MS is downgrading and shifting personnel from their OS division to beef up their services. Even MS Office isn't going to need Windows to run.
So where will a huge proportion of the abandoned Windows users go?
Linux Lite! Where the command prompt is for the curious only,and definitely not a necessity.

How time files. I remember when this distro started in October 2012 when I was a regular at the Linux Distro Community Forums. Remember those days Jerry? I sure do. Thank you to all the team for providing a life changing product of high quality!
