Excellent distro, installs easily, has some nice features and renamed some of the typical features in a more Windows like fashion such as user files and control panel. Nice adsdon features to aid newbies, good welcome center and specific instructions as to what to do after install with a great user manual.
Light on resources and offers far more than many XFCE distros like Xubuntu.

Bad news, wifi even with proper driver would not work at all. Its something Ive had issues before with this distro. That was a deal breaker given Neptune 5.2 and MX17 both install wifi automatically. I ended up replacing Linux Lite 4.0 with MX17 which spots any hardware without issues even in live session.

I wouldnt avoid Linux Lite but just be aware you may have some hardware issues as I installed it on a Dell Optiplex E5410 laptop.
