It was going to be my first choice, but unfortunately the screen brightness shortcuts weren't working, so I had to choose xfce instead.

Yes. The next release will support Wayland so you will be able to use your compositor of choice such as labwc or kwin_wayland.

Seriously that’s a major problem, everything is too small on a 27in 1080p. Windows 10 at 125% scale is perfect and KDE on Wayland is the only one that comes close to matching it. KDE is really the only one worth using at the moment
>>
>>101552033
The shortcuts work for me if I spam the brightness buttons. It seems to change like 0.5% at a time. Also, in Lubuntu there are shortcut settings for that too.

I'm using a 10 years old laptop so if they still haven't figured it out at this point they never will. Yes I know about the settings and I could make it work if I bound those shortcuts to command line utilities or made a bash script calling some 3rd party tool to set brightness however I refuse to tinker to have basic functionality working. Xfce worked out of the box.
You can adjust the % change by the way, if you make your shortcut run 3rd party tools like brightnessctl.

Understandable. In my opinion, Linux can be death by a thousand papercuts.
>>
>>101551711
It's impossible to run a pure QT system, on lots kf distros GTK gets pulled in even if you specifically avoid it. As such, there's no reason to not just use XFCE.
>>
>>101554037
While true, we might as well use the good Qt applications 90% of the time.

What are some nice themes and customization options for LXQt? I have it installed with devuan on my old laptop and just want to spice it up a bit, nothing crazy.
>>
I have a couple complaints

1. It uses xscreensaver

2 xdg portal for chromium still uses GTK instead of pcmanfm-qt for the file picker

Tell me how to fix those two problems, and I'll switch full time, please.

I use Nightmare for Openbox and Sombre-et-rond as the LXQt theme. It is basically matching black themes for the titlebar and bottom panel with the windows being normal bright colors.

xfce has horrible default keyboard shortcuts, i mean Alt + F3 for app/file finder, if you're typing in a dark room, just a misstype and boom you close the current window, thats just retarded

Shill it's bottom 1%. Which isn't really the devs fault, just the nature of tiny teams trying to compete with serious DEs.

I have a 16" 4k screen. I'm sure you can imagine how bad this is. I need around 275% scale.

It's unironically better than xfce just because the thumbnails work in file picker without xdg portal frankenstein hack.

I am happy that you have found a desktop that you like, but every benefit you listed I could say for KDE, especially aesthetics. For example, KDE can automatically generate selection highlight and folder icon tint colour based on your wallpaper, which makes things very pretty.

If KDE is a 6 then that's a 2. Just look at those inconsistent shadows that screams pre-alpha. Even my Xmonad desktop 15 years ago looked more polished.

There's no more screen tearing on XFCE anymore, and before it was fixed, you just had to install Compton to fix it.

all have all desktops - why not install multiple desktops and have a user account for each desktop?
this way they do not mixup settings and you can pick and choose whenever you wish to run other desktop for a while.
you also get backup gui in case some other desktop gets wrecked.
