I run lxde on one desktop; and my experimental results are nothing short |
| 7 |
of fabulous. A while back they (LXDE and razor-qt projects) decided to |
| 8 |
merge and support QT5. [1] If you have a spare desktop, you might want |
| 9 |
to experiment with QT5 via LXDE-QT [2]. |

I have not inquired when "LXDE-QT" known also as LXQT will formerly |
| 13 |
appear in portage; I can't remember where I read rumblings about it. |
| 14 |
I have just now looked for an overlay [3]. |

I do like the new (old_school?) approach of LXde and it's resource |
| 17 |
footprint is very, very small. qt is a fine piece of work; I have |
| 18 |
issues with the KDE "vision" and LXQT seems to be reading my mind |
| 19 |
on what a gui environment should and should not do, imho. |

Lightweight X means it could and should run in many places, easily and |
| 22 |
securely, like in a VM environment, tablets, etc etc. |
