From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is there a Qt equivalent of XFCE? (slrpnk.net)

was just a quick question – on the GTK side of things, we have the progression of LXDE → XFCE → Gnome – but on the Qt side of things, with LXQT → ??? → Plasma, there’s kind of a missing middle option?

I don't know how active it is anymore and how stable on Desktop, but maybe Lomiri?

Deepin also seems similar, in that it seems to sit between the two, but I can't recommend that due to the persistent disregard of security issues re that DE.

Lumina was something a bit similar to XFCE in that it seemed to want a simple stable base and ui, with only key technologies updated, and lots of options. Looks dead though now, which is a shame as I enjoyed using it for BSDs.
