    LxQt is actively maintained though? It’s the mainline Lx project now instead of LXDE. I just upgraded Debian last week and LxQt went from 0.16 to 1.2.

    I find LxQt surprisingly powerful for a lightweight DE. I have basically no complaints. It is ugly af out of the box but it also has pretty good customization options so that I’m now happy with how it looks. It runs like glass on my old laptop as well.

    If I were using this machine as a desktop I’d use KDE, but it’s mainly a server that I still want a UI for, so LxQt fits the bill perfectly.

      For applications like that it makes sense. But afaik it still doesn’t plan to support Wayland at all so anyone doing multi monitors can get fucked lmao

        They’re actually working in Wayland from 1.3. There some support already in 1.2. Otherwise I would’ve chosen a different DE because I do want to be on Wayland eventually.

        Basically I saw a brighter future coming for LxQt compared to LXDE and XFCE which is why I chose it.

          I may be confusing LXDE with LxQt then. I was thinking of a de that’s basically confirmed to be on life support/maintenance only with no major overhaul planned. My bad.

            Yeah, LXDE is the one that won’t be maintained anymore. Pretty easy mistake to make so no worries.
