AG, et al:
Thank you. So, the "question" might be how radically different is the
debian based "lxde" from the possibly lubuntu engineered "lxqt
desktop"??? to find a way forward.

Always interesting to see how OPs seem to disappear on ubuntu
forums, and it winds up RPs discussing the topic . . . .
So, booted up in Lu 20.10 and checking the sessions I now have
"Lubuntu" which seems to be thenewer, richer looking, possibly
"Plasma" based GUI DE; and "LXQT Desktop" which seems to be more
of the basic GUI DE; and then ye olde Openbox . . . minimalistic
DE . . . .
So I don't know if I had "lxde" only a few weeks back, and then
moving up to "groovy" removed it, OR, that was an imaginary
"fabrication" on my part and what I saw as "lxde" was the "lxqt
desktop" option . . . that option seems similar to what was the
traditional "lxde" . . . DE . . . maybe it has just been
"renamed" as the easy way to change the DE, but under the name it
is still . . . the same?? I didn't spend too long looking at the
features offered in lxqt desktop session . . . but, just saying
that especially in linux, "change is inevitable" . . . the clock
runs forward . . . .

data . . . probably would have been 18.04?? And I didn't add
lxde . . . but, I couldn't swear to that . . . . : - ))

Having now used LXQt, I'm much happier with LXDE.
I'd like to stick with LXDE as long as realistically
possible, though I understand (I think) the
difficulties around that.
Can anyone clear this up, thanks
@et al:
I'm pretty sure that even in 20.10 Lu that I have now,
the option of LXQT, LXDE, or Openbox sessions are
available on log in?
Possibly Aere G could confirm that, but I believe there
was a conversation regarding something similar not too
long ago here? Likely at least 20.04 . . . I'm a couple
days away from my "lubuntu" day . . . .

I'm pretty sure you have to install the lxde package,
before the LXDE option appears in the "Session" drop-box,
near the upper left corner of the log-in screen.

The LXDE desktop I see on Lubuntu 20.04, appears identical to the
LXDE desktop I see on my Debian Buster systems.
The launcher icon, and the dark, rounded taskbar, as well as the
LXDE splash-screen are the same on Lubuntu 20.04, and on Debian
Buster.
I suspect the LXDE we get on Lubuntu 20.04, is the same as comes
from Debian.

I choose to use LXDE because I can still do the color-customization I
like so much, and because it is more familiar to what I'm used to.
Also, where my 32-bit machines can't be used on Lubuntu any more, and
only Debian still supports them, on Debian, I use LXDE, so all of my
machines have a common desktop.
