The '''[https://lxqt.org/ LXQt Desktop Environment]''' LXQt is a lightweight Qt desktop environment. It will not get in your way. It will not hang or slow down your system. It is focused on being a classic desktop with a modern look and feel.  A 64 bit installation of Manjaro running lxqt uses about 250MB of memory.


LXQt is the Qt5 port and the upcoming version of LXDE, the Lightweight Desktop Environment. It is the product of the merge between the LXDE-Qt and the Razor-qt projects: A lightweight, modular, blazing-fast and user-friendly desktop environment. '''Use this command to install it:
====== Install a basic LXQt environment ======
'''
  sudo pacman -S lxqt xscreensaver
  sudo pacman -S lxqt


Additionally, some '''essential''' packages (window manager, terminal, and icon pack) are required in order to get a basic Desktop Environment:
====== Install and use LightDM, the recommended display manager for LXQt ======
sudo pacman -S lightdm lightdm-slick-greeter lightdm-settings light-locker
sudo systemctl enable lightdm.service --force
edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, under [Seat:*] replace the greeter-session setting with greeter-session=lightdm-slick-greeter


  sudo pacman -S openbox qterminal oxygen-icons
====== Optional: Install the Manjaro configuration and theming for LXQt ======
  sudo pacman -S manjaro-lxqt-extra-settings manjaro-openbox-adapta-maia papirus-maia-icon-theme


 
====== Create a new user for the new desktop environment ======
LXQt does not install a Display/Login Manager for you. The recommended Display/Login Manager for LXQt is '''[https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title=Install_Display_Managers#SDDM SDDM]'''.
sudo useradd -mG lp,network,power,sys,wheel <username>
 
sudo passwd <username>
 
Intermediate to advanced users can follow (parts of) this guide to a '''[[Minimal LXQt installation]]'''.
