The lightweight and modern Linux desktop. LXQt is what I used to work on (I still help out once in a while), and it just doesn't have the manpower and organization required to produce something really good.
Working on the Desktop is a really interesting thing. The goal is to turn machines into something usable for, nowdays essentially browsing the web or gaming (with the oddball app that does more than that).
It's a very rewarding thing. Hit me up if you are interested: Swing by the #lxqt channel on IRC and DM me (jleclanche, or agaida if I'm not here). It's a place where you can get to either work on stuff that already exists, or make up your own new ideas, or help bring standards together.
- walrus01 9y agowhat's wrong with xfce?
- severine 9y agoOh c'mon! OP didn't even mention it! There's nothing wrong with Xfce (I'm a very happy user myself), but they're distinct projects and the OP makes a good case and gives useful info about LXQt, as fits the thread.
- cannonedhamster 9y agoAbsolutely love LXQt. Amazingly good desktop. Enlightenment is another fantastic low power high feature desktop environment that suffers from the same lack of devs. Both of these have spurred me a bit further into learning coding myself to help out, but real life works always seems to get in the way.
