2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    LxQt is actively maintained though? It's the mainline Lx project now instead of LXDE. I just upgraded Debian last week and LxQt went from 0.16 to 1.2.

    I find LxQt surprisingly powerful for a lightweight DE. I have basically no complaints. It is ugly af out of the box but it also has pretty good customization options so that I'm now happy with how it looks. It runs like glass on my old laptop as well.

    If I were using this machine as a desktop I'd use KDE, but it's mainly a server that I still want a UI for, so LxQt fits the bill perfectly.

    For applications like that it makes sense. But afaik it still doesnโ€™t plan to support Wayland at all so anyone doing multi monitors can get fucked lmao

    [โ€“] rambaroo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

    They're actually working in Wayland from 1.3. There some support already in 1.2. Otherwise I would've chosen a different DE because I do want to be on Wayland eventually.

    Basically I saw a brighter future coming for LxQt compared to LXDE and XFCE which is why I chose it.

    [โ€“] LuckyLu@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    I may be confusing LXDE with LxQt then. I was thinking of a de thatโ€™s basically confirmed to be on life support/maintenance only with no major overhaul planned. My bad.

    [โ€“] rambaroo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

    Yeah, LXDE is the one that won't be maintained anymore. Pretty easy mistake to make so no worries.
