From the README.md for the repo:
LXQt is the next generation of LXDE, the Lightweight Desktop Environment. It is the product of the merge between Razor-qt and LXDE-Qt.
I was wondering what the relationship between LXQt and LXDE was. Is it just the LXQt project who is claiming this is the next generation, or is that the prevailing consensus among both projects?
- medstrom 5y agoBasically LXDE got rebranded into LXQt, though since DEs and WMs don't get obsolete fast, LXDE will continue to work for a long time. You can still pick LXDE in Debian if you prefer Gtk 2 for some reason.
- pantalaimon 5y agoThe thing is that Qt and Gtk3 and onward all consume more resources than Gtk2
- luke2m 5y agoIt’s a bit more than a rebranding, being completely rebased on a different framework, and LXDE still gets some work, for example, LXTerminal has commits from September. [0] [0] https://github.com/lxde/lxterminal https://github.com/lxde/lxterminal
- heresie-dabord 5y agoDebian LXDE and Fedora LXDE Spin are performant, light distros that are easy to configure.
