It's good enough, IMHO. I'll keep using LXDE as long as I can, but I'm ready, willing and able to switch to LXQt when necessary, and LXQt becomes more ready for prime time daily. > > On 15.08.17 10:22, Fungi4All wrote: > > Welcome Erik, > > The first thing I did in Devuan was to install lightdm and LXDE and > > remove xfce. LOL, contrastingly, the first thing I did was to uninstall the Display Manager (I think it was called slim) so that I could boot to CLI, and from there, *if I wanted*, startx to GUI. Which illustrates the real beauty of Linux. Fungi4All wants to boot straight to GUI and use lightdm instead of slim to do it. No problem. I want no Display Manager at all, and once again, no problem. > > In most cases I use openbox > > though with some lxde tools. I hear ya Brother, that's pretty much what I do too.

Over the years using Redhat, Corel, Caldera, Mandrake, Mandriva, Ubuntu, Debian, Void and Devuan, at least half the time shutting down from the GUI didn't work, especially because I wasn't using a display manager. No sweat off my petunias, I just typed "poweroff" or "reboot" (except in the real old days when we had "shutdown -h now" which sometimes doesn't power the machine off). And at times when I rolled my own init system, sometimes I couldn't get the proper signal to PID1 to shut down the system. No biggy, I just manually ran the shellscript associated with init stage 3 (shutdown). > > On 15.08.17 23:07, aitor wrote: > > You can test the following image announced in the IRC channel (it > > hasn't any desktop environment), but you'll be able to get network > > connection using the backend of simple-netaid.
