Why doesnt this lightweight yet functional desktop get more use? Wouldn't using less resources on your desktop be the key to getting the most out of your computers resources?
What do the other desktops do that LXQT doesn't?
LXQT
Levi Foster
Thomas Gomez
it's pointless when you can just use openbox
Jace Martin
Then kde is pointless.
And gnome (a fuckin foot) is pointless.
And cinnamon is pointless.
And mate is pointless.
And XFCE is pointless.
Caleb Harris
like most free software, it has a lot of bugs and nobody pays me enough to report them, let alone fix them
Hudson Long
He has a point tho. All the DEs you have listed bring useful features, LXQt doesn't
Adrian Cruz
Why would I use this instead of FVWM?
Mason Nelson
Because LXDE is better.
Jason Thompson
Guess im gonna take the Lubuntu plunge then. Nobody really said anything interesting about Lxqt one way or another
Noah Martinez
Doesn't it have xdg-desktop-portal support now? Does that mean thumbnails in filepicker?
Chase Perez
Ill tell ya in a few minutes when its done installing
Kayden Green
Install is done. Theres thumbnails.
Jonathan Jackson
For example? Im currently using cinnamon on my desktop but my laptop is a damned potato with a pre ryzen amd chip

>What do the other desktops do that LXQT doesn't?
They don't look and feel like bloody diarrhea
Michael Russell
Looks fine to me.
Jason Ramirez
it seemed too basic for me so i went with xubuntu. literally just finished installing it an hour ago. how do i debloat ubuntu even further beyond the minimal option?
Julian Brooks
In the file picker, specifically?

The average user doesn't have a 15 year old computer where every MB is important. If you have 16 GB and a processor made this decade you pretty much have to actively try and hit any sort of limit. Unused RAM is wasted RAM and all that.

>For example?
It doesn't have a compositor.
The panel is shit compared to, for example, Xfce's or Cinnamon's ones.
Very few themes available (most of them are also bad and not up to date).
Doesn't have a dedicated wm (it uses Openbox which you can already use alone).
Programs launcher is pretty limited and unpolished.
Parker White
LXQT is home.
No GTK bullshit, no Krashing. It's simple and just works.
Justin Davis
1. Plenty of resources for Cinnamon
2. Have tried LXQT
I need to bind the super key myself and vertical taskbar doesn't work. I also recall not just being able to type the app name and press enter to start it. It still needs work.
Landon Nelson
I like LXQT. Well, not all of it. Bits and pieces of it are real useful to bring my 'DE' kicking and screaming into the modern age, but I don't see a need to run the entire thing.
Jonathan Gomez
The file manager yes has thumbnails.
