Detailed Description
LXQt is the Qt port and the upcoming version of LXDE, the Lightweight Desktop Environment. It is the product of the merge between the LXDE-Qt and the Razor-qt projects: A lightweight, modular, blazing-fast and user-friendly desktop environment.
Benefit to Fedora
LXQt will make Fedora more interesting for users who look for a slick and slim desktop environment.
Therefore, look also at the page of the LXQt Special Interest Group (LXQt SIG).
Scope
- Proposal owners: All LXQt components need to be packaged, the packages need to be reviewed and the result needs to be tested.
- Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
- Release engineering: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
- Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
Upgrade/compatibility impact
LXQt packages already in the repo
There are already some LXQt packages available form the Open Build Service and various copr repositories ([1], [2], [3]), but these may or may not be compatible with Fedora or meet our packaging standards. Feature owner will work with the copr owners to bring everything into Fedora, thus eliminating the necessity to use 3rd party repositories.
How To Test
- Install LXQt with
dnf groupinstall lxqt
- Select LXQt from the display manager and log in.
- Run Release_validation_test_plan, in particular the Desktop_Acceptance_Test_Cases.
User Experience
LXQt is a fast and stable desktop environment already usable on production desktops. It will not get in the user's way. It is focused on being a Classic Desktop with a modern Look & Feel.
Dependencies
LXQt depends on some other components already present in Fedora:
- Various LXDE packages (lxpolkit, lxde-common, lxmenu-data, libfm, some might need an update)
- Openbox Window Manager (current version is sufficient)
Contingency Plan
- Contingency mechanism: Don't ship LXQt or don't announce it as feature.
- Contingency deadline: Beta Freeze
- Blocks release? No
- Blocks product? None
