'''Linux Lite''' is a [[Linux distribution]] based on [[Debian]] and [[Ubuntu]] created by a team of programmers led by Jerry Bezencon.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.everydaylinuxuser.com/2014/03/inside-linux-lite-interview-with-jerry.html |title=Jerry Bezencon interview |access-date=26 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151109123625/http://www.everydaylinuxuser.com/2014/03/inside-linux-lite-interview-with-jerry.html |archive-date=9 November 2015 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Created in 2012, it uses a customized implementation of [[Xfce]] as its desktop environment, and runs on the main [[Linux kernel]].

The distribution aims to appeal to [[Linux]] beginners and [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] users, by trying to make the transition from Windows to Linux as smooth as possible. To achieve this, the distribution tries to conserve many of the visual and functional elements of Windows, to create an experience that can be perceived as familiar by Windows users. Additionally, the distro also sets out to "dispel the myth that Linux is hard to use", by trying to offer a simple and intuitive desktop experience.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.linuxliteos.com/features.html|title=Free Operating System - Linux Lite|last=Bezencon|first=Jerry|website=www.linuxliteos.com|access-date=2 November 2020}}</ref><ref name="In Free Software, the Community is the Most Important Ingredient: Jerry Bezencon of Linux Lite [Interview]">{{Cite web|url=https://itsfoss.com/linux-lite-interview/|title=In Free Software, the Community is the Most Important Ingredient: Jerry Bezencon of Linux Lite [Interview]|last=Prakash|first=Abhishek|date=17 May 2020 |access-date=11 September 2022}}</ref>
