    I like some of LXQt tools, but at one point do you decide if you’re going to use Qt… why not just go all out and use KDE?

      It’s very lightweight

      Because it uses 250 MB of RAM on a well-optimized distro (e.g. installing it on DietPi), instead of 1.5 GB of RAM.

        So does many of the GTK tools though… so, again… why use Qt at all if you want to save memory.

          If you like GTK use Xfce, if you like Qt use LxQt

          We’re talking about a whole desktop environment, not “gtk tools”. Both lxde and lxqt are lightweight, and have more utilities and prefs than the standard window managers, or the old stuff, like icewm.

      Why use xfce if you want to use GTK… why not just go all out and use Gnome?

        I use Hyrpland, and so there are times where I need to use GTK or Qt tools. I generally don’t like KDE-based tools though because they are dependency-heavy.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
