I installed lxqt on a recent Ubuntu server machine when I need a quick |
| 8 |
minimal desktop. I was pretty dissappointed. I had read that lxqt |
| 9 |
uses openbox wm (which is what I use on all my Gentoo machines). But it |
| 10 |
seems that on Ubuntu lxqt doesn't use openbox, it offers XFCE wm |
| 11 |
and one other I'd never heard of before (mutter?). |

It also seems to refuse to run from the command line via xinit or |
| 14 |
startx, so I had to install a "display manager", which I find to be |
| 15 |
useless bloat. |

Next time I won't bother with lxqt and the associated bloat, I'll just |
| 18 |
install openbox and tint2. |
