<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">Yes, very true. A fine job from Simon Quigley and gang. Theming inconsistencies abound though in Lubuntu 18.10(where the LXqt stuff was introduced), but I think this is to expected as it is a short-term release to see what sticks/works. <br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">I still use Lubuntu on a fairly old Thinkpad X31 with a 1.6Ghz Dothan CPU(non-PAE thing) and that works quite well with a 7200RPM spinner and 2G of RAM. <br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">The new Lubu still suffers from a deficit that I fear diminishes it's adoption by the Linux community, that deficit being key bindings, or more appropriately, a lack of key bindings for the usual GUI end-user tasks. Seems like too much work to address this shortcoming(at least to me) when there is Xfce and Mate. Xfce is quite mature, reliable and the implementation by the Mint team is sublime. <br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">I did find an interesting oddity with Lubu 18.10, the memory footprint was greater than Mint Xfce(!) Not sure if it was due to the qt libs and such being loaded in ram for a snappier response, odd, all the same.<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Thanks,<br><br>Ron Singh<br><br></div></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Sun, Nov 4, 2018 at 11:43 AM Charles M <<a href="mailto:chaslinux@gmail.com">chaslinux@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">Ron I read somewhere that the next version of Lubuntu would use LxQt rather than Lxde.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Sun, Nov 4, 2018, 10:11 AM Ron Singh <<a href="mailto:ronsingh149@gmail.com" target="_blank">ronsingh149@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">Welcome!<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">I am still relatively new at this at hjust under 2 years now, but the transition has been smooth from W7/W10 by dint of dogged distro-hopping and use/break of many cuts of GNU/Linux. <br><br>The folks at KWLUG have been truly helpful and very encouraging. wish I contribute more.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">I did try LMDE on baqre metal, metal being a Thinkpad X230, but the 4.9.x kernel does not play well with the APCI and SMAPI files and I cannot use TLP properly as a result.

<br>
I just subscribed to this mailing list and joined your IRC channel <br>
today. I've<br>
been using Linux most of the time since 1997. I'm glad to have finally joined<br>
this LUG.<br>
<br>
My favourite distribution is Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) and I <br>
taught myself<br>
how to write programs in C, Python and other languages. I also have a lot of<br>
information on administration and internet stuff.<br>
<br>
I'm a big fan of Linux and want to pursue more Linux advocacy. (I have done<br>
some on IRC and the Web.)<br>
<br>
I hope for social and technical payoffs for joining this LUG.<br>
<br>
Hope you are all doing well!<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
Tom<br>
<br>
