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: LXQt packages already approved and in the system.
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

Heliocastro's copr is the mirror packages in main repository to EPEL and F21 for now.

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:

kf5-kwindowsystem library
polkit-qt5-1 library
libqtxdg library
qterminal ( subject to change if decided )
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
