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
