Great news!! I do want to simply test it out before I upgrade to a new version (I always do a fresh install anyhow). @PCMan are you supporting QML apps in LXQt? I know they will run either way, but I am wondering if you had plans to make some parts use QML components, or use QML to quickly make the Qt interfaces to C++ backends of current applications. I am mainly thinking about the settings/configuration of the openbox xml file, and possibly a "LXQt settings" much like the RazorQt settings. It seems to me (I could easily be wrong) that QML should run well on LXQt even on lower end hardware, as QML has run on many phones.
This is exciting a lightweight Qt DE!!! Thanks for your hard work!!
