A few observations regarding Fedora LXQt 35
by Bhikhu 25 May '22

25 May '22

A few observations about Fedora 35 LXQt that might be of help to the devs. First, the official page is misleading in a way. It lists Quassel, FeatherPad, qpdfview, Dragon Player, Yarock as the part of the default distribution but none of them are there on the ISO. I mean inclusion of one application per task wouldn't have bloated the ISO that much, would it have? Falkon ain't bad but wouldn't it be better to include Firefox as the default browser? Enki the text-editor fails to launch because of some Python/QT related shenanigans. There aren't that many apps on the ISO, so I'm surprised that no one tested/QA this before it landed on the release ISO. Not something that you'd expect from an official spin of Fedora. LXDM lists openbox as one of the available sessions but trying to selecting and logging into it, ends up freezing LXDM. Nothing happens. These are not groundbreaking things but coming from an official spin of Fedora, these things are deeply disappointing. I hate to compare different distributions but there is Lubuntu that is an officially recognized spin of Ubuntu and the difference in quality of the default install between Fedora LXQt and Lubuntu are striking. I hope the devs will take this criticism positively and take a queue or two from Lubuntu and Fedora LXQt 36 will be a much better and professional offering than 35. Good luck. -- signature.html /Bhikhu/ <mailto:hakerdefo@gmail.com> My Blog -> https://hakerdefo.github.io My Projects -> https://github.com/hakerdefo This message and its contents may be confidential.

Is there a way to get LXQt 1.0 in Fedora?
by Sergei S. Rublёv 13 Feb '22

13 Feb '22

Hello all! I have recently started using LXQt with Fedora and had a good experience. I have installed it via command line first. And some time later I fresh-installed Fedora-LXQt (35) spin. They install LXQt 0.17.0. LXQt developers at GitHub say actual version is 1.0. Is there a way to get LXQt 1.0 working in Fedora? I cannot understand instructions about "compiling from source".

Switching LXQt to using Kwin instead of Openbox
by Neal Gompa 20 Jan '22

20 Jan '22

Hey all, I noticed that LXQt uses Openbox instead of Kwin for the compositor/window manager. However, Openbox has been dead for almost six years[1] and doesn't seem to have a path to Wayland. Meanwhile, it seems Kwin works quite well with LXQt[2] and supports both X11 and Wayland. Moreover, it's actively maintained and seems to improve the responsiveness of the LXQt desktop. Have you folks considered moving from Openbox to Kwin with LXQt 0.16.0 in Fedora 34?
