Goddamn it, stop trying to lure me away from Debian again!

So? Can’t be that long until it’s in Sid or at least an add-on repo.
I don’t use LXQt itself, but its software suite is nice if you want a Qt desktop with a tiling window manager. Looking forward to it landing in my distro. 👍
Note that LXQt doensnt include a window manager, but runs independently on top of others like Sway, KWin, Hyprland, Wayfire (Wayland) or Openbox and others (XOrg)
How does it compare to XFCE
LXQt is the best desktop environment plus it’s so lightweight. LXQt is proof GNome is a bloated hot garbage.
So many more features than gnome, while being one of if not the most lightweight DE
I like some of LXQt tools, but at one point do you decide if you’re going to use Qt… why not just go all out and use KDE?
Why use xfce if you want to use GTK… why not just go all out and use Gnome?
Lower performance machines
It’s very lightweight
Because it uses 250 MB of RAM on a well-optimized distro (e.g. installing it on DietPi), instead of 1.5 GB of RAM.
So does many of the GTK tools though… so, again… why use Qt at all if you want to save memory.
We’re talking about a whole desktop environment, not “gtk tools”. Both lxde and lxqt are lightweight, and have more utilities and prefs than the standard window managers, or the old stuff, like icewm.
If you like GTK use Xfce, if you like Qt use LxQt
LxQt is lighter weight and my laptop is old
