My comment is nonetheless a general truth. > LXDE is effectively a several-years-dead project. Your comment is a general truth but LXDE is a special case: * It's subjectively a little more reliable and a lot easier to configure and use than LXQt. * LXDE is a very nice "gentle intro" into Openbox and LXQt. * In the future, when LXDE either becomes unavailable or has security problems, transition to LXQt is as easy as http://troubleshooters.com/linux/quickhacks.htm#startxlxqt The general truth is it's best to stop using deprecated software as soon as there's a half decent alternative (which LXQt is). The exception is that in this case, conversion at any time is so easy, it's best to use the mature deprecated software until there's a real reason to get rid of it.
