I run lxde on one desktop; and my experimental results are nothing short
of fabulous. A while back they (LXDE and razor-qt projects) decided to
merge and support QT5. [1] If you have a spare desktop, you might want
to experiment with QT5 via LXDE-QT [2].
I have not inquired when "LXDE-QT" known also as LXQT will formerly
appear in portage; I can't remember where I read rumblings about it.
I have just now looked for an overlay [3].
I do like the new (old_school?) approach of LXde and it's resource
footprint is very, very small. qt is a fine piece of work; I have
issues with the KDE "vision" and LXQT seems to be reading my mind
on what a gui environment should and should not do, imho.
Lightweight X means it could and should run in many places, easily and
securely, like in a VM environment, tablets, etc etc.
