Detailed Description
LXQt in Fedora will be upgraded to v2.0, which notably ports the whole desktop to Qt 6 and adds experimental Wayland support.
More details on LXQt 2.0 are available from the upstream release announcement.
Feedback
Benefit to Fedora
Fedora includes the latest version of LXQt and one less desktop depending on Qt 5, which is EOL.
Scope
- Proposal owners: Upgrade all related LXQt packages
- Other developers: N/A
- Release engineering: #12207
- Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)
- Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
- Alignment with the Fedora Strategy: N/A
Upgrade/compatibility impact
Users will be upgraded from LXQt 1.x to 2.0, though no major configuration or user experience changes are expected.
How To Test
Install using the spin, netinstall or DVD. Or upgrade from older release. Then users should be able to test by doing any daily work.
User Experience
The user experience is not expected to change, other than it may be even lighter on system resources than before due to the change from Qt 5 to Qt 6.
Dependencies
None outside of this Change.
Contingency Plan
- Contingency mechanism: Roll back the LXQt packages. It will require an Epoch bump.
- Contingency deadline: Beta freeze
- Blocks release? No.
Documentation
N/A (not a System Wide Change)
Release Notes
LXQt in Fedora has been upgraded to version 2.0, built on Qt 6.
