Changes:
Linux Lite Applications
Our in-house applications are starting to be repackaged using ZSTD compression for significantly faster decompression speeds and higher compression rates.
Example:
Lite Themes - old compressed package: 91.2mb
Lite Themes - new compressed package: 76.8mb
This will benefit machines from a wider range of ages. Great for slower computers when installing updates, lightning fast updates for modern machines.
Added SystemD report to Lite System Report
This addition will help a wide range of people in regards to diagnosing a variety of booting and general system inquiries. Our amazing support team on the Forums will also find this very helpful.
Added webp support in the Thunar file manager for displaying thumbnails correctly
The new look Thunderbird
Thunderbird gets, Redesigned Icons, Spaces Toolbar, New Address Book, Message Header Customization, Import and Export Wizard and Matrix Chat Support.

Installation
How do I know if my Windows PC has UEFI?
In Windows Search, type msinfo or msinfo32 and launch the desktop app named System Information. Look for the BIOS Mode item, and if the value for it is UEFI, then you have the UEFI firmware. If it says BIOS Mode Legacy, then that’s the firmware you’re running.
Secure Boot is supported, but unless you know exactly how to handle it, it is a P.I.T.A. at best so I am going to say...you must disable Secure Boot to enable stress free computing.
Details:
Kernel: 5.15.0-60 ( custom kernels also available via our Repository for versions 3.13 - 6.2 )
Chrome: 110.0
Thunderbird: 102.7.1
LibreOffice: 7.4.5
VLC: 3.0.16
Gimp: 2.10.30
Base: 22.04.2
Known Issues:
Eject Media prompt is only available at the end of the UEFI install.
Desktop icons - English support only.
Dropbox: if you get an error, run the set up twice.
There is NO Grub Edit in Lite Tweaks in this Series for Linux Lite due to an unsolvable issue. Ubuntu will show in the Grub menu if you are dual or more booting. Try Grub Customizer if it annoys you.
Grub menu shows Linux Lite as 'Ubuntu'. See below for more on this.
- Open /etc/default/grub as Administrator.
- Comment out: GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2 /dev/null || echo Debian` and leave GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR='Linux Lite' uncommented.
- Should look like:
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR='Linux Lite'
#GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2 /dev/null || echo Debian`
- sudo update-grub
Grub - press the ESC key whilst booting in UEFI mode after your BIOS has posted. Use the SHIFT key if running Linux Lite in Legacy mode.
Help Manual will be updated in the Final.
OEM Install option - is broken and crashes near the end of the install. If a fix can't be found, it will be excluded from each release until a solution if found.
Other Issues
You tell me.
There is no upgrade to or from RC releases. RC releases are for testing only and it is not recommended to run them as your main or secondary operating system.
