LXQt is a lightweight, modular Qt-based desktop environment for Linux and BSD, successor to LXDE and Razor-qt. This repository is a git superproject that aggregates all LXQt components as submodules for development and release coordination.
Use cases
- run a lightweight desktop environment on old or low-resource hardware
- build all LXQt components from source at once
- try a classic-style Qt desktop with a modern look
- set up a Wayland session with LXQt
- replace heavier desktop environments like GNOME or KDE
- contribute to LXQt development across all its modules
When to choose
- you need a fast, resource-friendly desktop environment
- you want a modular classic desktop built on Qt
- you develop or package LXQt and need all components checked out together
When to avoid
- you want a full-featured heavyweight desktop with extensive built-in integrations
- you need a macOS or Windows desktop environment
- you only want to install LXQt as an end user - use your distribution's packages instead
