[Colchester] Linux Mint 18 on main computer

On this desk top I have LXLE.  I liked the early versions but think it 
is losing direction a bit with a few annoyances.  I have Peppermint on 
one laptop and another laptop with Manjaro on.  I don't have anything 
with Windoze.  If I can't do it with Linux then it isn't worth doing :) 
(although I find I can do everything I need with Linux).

Tried Mint but didn't like it.  I prefer lighter distros that run faster 
on my older equipment.
