1 Howdy,
2
3 I see lxqt(0.7) in portage now. I assume it is the qt5 based lxqt?
4 I'm Not sure or if the lxqt-base/lxqt-meta--.7.0-r1 is still qt4 based?

7 Anyway, I have looked for a migration guide and found little info.
8 Being relatively new to the LX* scene, it took me some effort
9 to get the workstation setup "happy". My current setup uses
10 a myriad of config files, much to my chagrin.... Some cleanup
11 is warranted, but since the big upgrade to lxqt is mimminent, I
12 figured I'd wait and do it once.

15 So I'm curious about suggestions on this migration. Do you install
16 lxqt-meta first, then manually delete the lxde applicaotins? Blockers?
17 Polkit, the Desktop manager and the several differect terminal
18 types I use, were all a bit of (a hack really) effort to get happy.
19 I wonder if lxqt has any new issues that are new to the LX* environment?

22 Is there a way to parlay the existing lxde config info into lxqt,
23 or do I need to back all of that up, nuke all of the lxde builds
24 and start from scratch on lxqt?
25
26
27 Anyone tried the lxqt offering in (testing) portage tree ?
28 All comments are welcome.
