Re: Difference between lxde and lxqt

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication 8-) = LXDE "It seems that perfection is reached not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away" My principle – Need I say more? In every instance LXQT, Xfce, IceWM etc will use more resource and be slower in eve...

Re: LXDE panel bug

Yes – of course anything is possible :o Though I would respectfully suggest that in reality this is a non-issue as the OP has not stated if the stretch feature which shrinks the taskbar icons is checked.

Re: Revamped LXDE DISTRO!

WattOS R:13 now based on Debian 12 ;)

See review by DistroWatch which is quite interesting as it states that with WattOS LXDE doing normal everyday tasks on battery it lasts twice as long as when using as MX Xfce for same tasks! 8-)

Re: Am I being stupid for using LXDE in 2024?

No you are not stupid :) So yes; keep with LXDE and stay free of all the LXQT problems :) I used both Manjaro and Endeavour with LXDE desktop which infuriated their moderators for some reason to do with efficiency of resources – RAM.

LXDE goes Supersonic with Quad Boot

A bit of festive fun ;) LXDE goes Supersonic with Quad Boot USB-A at 5GiB per sec test run. :shock: Before going Ballistic with Multi Boot Thunderbolt-4 ports at 40GiB per second. :geek: Rough and ready proof video showing Loc-OS LXDE as default, booting into Tails+Tor before rebooting into Loc-OS t...

Re: HP EliteBook 860 16 inch G9 Notebook

Will let you know – fingers crossed :) Always been afraid of Dual Boot in case I brick the computer. :oops: Grasped the nettle and shrank Win11 partition on new 2023 HP EliteBook Disabled Secure boot..
