Fedora LXQT

[W2NAP]

So i was given a machine while back, and finally got around to playing with it. decided to give Fedora 26 LXQT a spin.

I am impressed with it. I like the look of it. it seems to work quite well. granted LXQT is a bit of a new DE for linux (its LXDE + QT (What KDE uses as a backend) = LXQT

only thing i am a bit bummed it resource usage, LXQT seems to idle at around 880MiB used vs LXDE on this machine idles about 400MiB used so bit over double but still, what I have played with it is quick and responsive.

Other thing i noticed is Qupzilla crashes as soon as a new page starts to load. however FF works perfect so the default web browser im not impressed with at all.

Sounds good. I may give it a try. Even though I haven't installed an LXQT spin I guess I should be able to install LXQT on an existing installation. Most of my installations have more than one DE installed (i.e GNOME, KDE, etc.).

what is LXQT? i've been out of the fedora world for a while now ...

> only thing i am a bit bummed it resource usage

using the default kernel? rebuild and strip it down to what actually matters. even though it should only load most modules on demand the resource usage still balloons ...

LXQT is pretty much LXDE but based off QT instead of GTK+
