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?

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.

Why use xfce if you want to use GTK… why not just go all out and use Gnome?

I use Hyrpland, and so there are times where I need to use GTK or Qt tools. I generally don’t like KDE-based tools though because they are dependency-heavy.

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)

So? Can’t be that long until it’s in Sid or at least an add-on repo.

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

How does it compare to XFCE

So…
2.0 was a switch to QT6
and
2.1.0 brings us Wayland? Very exciting! Definitely will check it out (as a full session), as I always pick apps from either XFCE or LXQT for my tiling window manager set up. I’ve been using Thunar lately, though I’m open to switching back to pcmanfm if I want to.

If you like GTK use Xfce, if you like Qt use LxQt
.

Have a look at this thread for Wayland support
Goddamn it, stop trying to lure me away from Debian again!
