Linux Lite which is a Linux distribution, based on Debian and Ubuntu was created by a team led by Jerry Bezencon. The purpose of Linux Lite is to introduce Windows users to Linux. Linux Lite is based on Ubuntu 16.04.2 and Linux kernel 4.4. It is simple to use, it is lightweight, it is equally fast, and has several versions already on the web. With the latest version (Linux Lite 3.4) which was just released a few days ago after 5 months of development.
This new release will feature some added new features, bug fixes, improved security as well as improvements in the overall user experiences. If you are already a Linux Lite user, you must have already been getting a notification about an update to version 3.4, which is one of the main highlights of the release.
Several other new features of Linux Lite 3.4 includes
1. Besides the new looks, users now get notified about updates and drivers and set a restore point after the installation.
2. Addition of zRAM
Linux Lite is on of the fastest and lightweight Linux distros I've ever worked with. Before now, it can already be used flawlessly on older or low spec systems, and the addition of zRAM in this new version 3.4 add more flavour to it. zRAM is a compressed RAM block device for faster I/O, and it's sure useful for older machines.
3. Fluent support for joysticks.
4. Changes in The Login Options.

Both are in ISO and are between 900mb, less than 1GB. I usually use Lili USB to burn my Linus files to thumb drives (on Windows PC) before formatting, but it is recommended that you use Win32DiskImager for this particular distro. Win32DiskImager can get downloaded from SourceForge
Are you a Windows user who want to have more from your PC by trying several other OS on your machine? Besides Zorin 12 or Linux Mint, and any other Linux distro which are lightweight or not. I recommend Linux Lite for you. Feel free to ask your questions and share other matters as they arise.
