I switched to Lubuntu LXQT desktop from Gnome 44.4 recently, why? Because it's way faster, a nice looking but also very lightweight Linux desktop version, the lightest-weight actually, even more than XFCE and the old LXDE desktops.

My laptops are fairly old, their hardware configs are not very brilliant at the present and unfortunately, Gnome 44 is getting heavier and heavier and especially after the recent updates and upgrades.

The more it looks fancy the heavier it is actually.

But now we have Lubuntu LXQT, damn fast man this bro rocks.

Clementine's chosen as the default music player application in this package because it includes a built-in Equalizer feature locally which is very useful and also pretty compatible with the concept of my theme.

Note:

Plank Preferences can be accessed by holding down the Ctrl key and right click anywhere on the Plank dock.

 

Just drag'n'drop to rearrange icons in the dock.

How to make Plank automatically startup?

From the configuration panel select Sessions Settings/Autostart and add a new entry as:

Name = Plank 

Command = plank
