Lite vs Core distro-s: my initial comparison

[vic]

Update.
A bug in Lite's power management, which I didn't encounter in Core:
closing the laptop's lid and then reopening makes the screen mostly "frozen" (doesn't show the login screen but the desktop, pointer moves but unresponsive to clicks or general keyboard, however it accepts login input to unlock...).
One workaround is basically disabling auto-locking in Lite:

Thus, until Xfce's devs fix that notorious issue, this will work for me:

1. let Power Manager, not logind, manage the Lid (set logind-handle-lid-switch to FALSE/unchecked in Xfce's Settings editor, xfce4-power-manager )
2. don't let Power Manager lock (via the "Laptop Lid" and "Security" options in "System" tab)
3. When need to, always lock explicitly via Start menu or shortcut keys.
   So, Super+L then close lid => when open the lid, unlocks fine regardless whether Lidwas set to suspend or just to turn off the screen.

(also there more details about the issue, for those interested).

But if you rarely need to lock your laptop, then you may find keeping auto-lock disabled an advantage.

I wonder though if that bug affects all users with a laptop with Zorin Lite 17.3?
Maybe Zorin developers need to do something about it?
