LXQt: Suggested Applications

 This page is under development and gets updated manually in various delay.

QtDesktop

We could base on the kickstart file and the applications choice from former QtDesktop approach of a possible LiveCD.

Package management

Text Editor

- needed also for source code

• JuffEd, already packaged
  • cursor behaviour is somehow strange in kvm
• Enki (PyQt4) - Review

Partitioning

• QtParted
  • retired, dead upstream (as of 2015-06-10)
  • not feature complete currently
  • inactive since 2012
• try the fork QParted (notice the one missing character in different naming)
  • QParted Review

Is a partition editor really a basic part of a graphical desktop environment? Besides the need to work with partitions during the installation, 
it is actually not needed. I would discourage everybody to change partitions while the system is running, and this wouldn't work anyway on all partitions.
The better way is to boot a live medium. Then it doesn't matter whether a Qt or GTK or whatever based partition editor is used.

Web Browser (oh well!)

• 1. Qupzilla needs update
• 2. Dillo - but it's based on FLTK what we want?
• 3. Konqueror - conflicts with PCManFM-Qt as the (default) file manager, see below [1]
• 4. Firefox - too much overload propably…
• 5. Arora (Google) - dead upstream
• 5a. Rekonq - maintainer of Arora suggests as a comparable replacement.
