NO THANK YOU to LXQT... If I want to use KDE, then I'll nuke and pave and install KDE. I tried LXQT on Lubuntu and hated it. The icon themes suck all the way around. I cant stand Papirus. And actually, LXDE is still alive.. It's even still getting updates for some of the apps. A few of the team members didn't want to see LXDE die, so they refused to move over to LXQT.
