Yes, the tenor has changed over the months to keep the base of users in tact. |

But, if you read the 'tea leaves' this desktop lineage is on the move, |
| 11 |
and devs are few and very limited to support several trunks. |

What your not continuing with LXDE? Dude, lxde is dead; there just is no |
| 19 |
scheduled funeral announce until lxqt is more feature rich, *imho*. ymmv. |

I read this. I see no commitment to lxde long term. He is newly installing, |
| 27 |
so lxde is probably a bad choice, if he intends to use it for a few years. |
| 28 |
ymmv. Futhermore is Weyland in his sights? Dunno, but that seems to |
| 29 |
be the target, with qt5 resource utilization. I bet many codes that are |
| 30 |
centric to qt4 will not keep up, and thus be dropped, eventually. |
