Re: [lubuntu-users] 18.04 LTS support length? (uninvol...@outlook.com)
Always interesting to see how OPs seem to disappear on ubuntu forums, and it winds up RPs discussing the topic . . . . Oh, I'm still here. My question was already answered and Thunderbird keeps stuffing these into the junk mail section. Also, once it replied to the respondents email address as I forgot to change it. But no, no I'm still here. -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users

Just as it was with the Lubuntu engineered LXDE desktop, totally different.

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.
