    I like some of LXQt tools, but at one point do you decide if you’re going to use Qt… why not just go all out and use KDE?

      Because it uses 250 MB of RAM on a well-optimized distro (e.g. installing it on DietPi), instead of 1.5 GB of RAM.

          We’re talking about a whole desktop environment, not “gtk tools”. Both lxde and lxqt are lightweight, and have more utilities and prefs than the standard window managers, or the old stuff, like icewm.

      Why use xfce if you want to use GTK… why not just go all out and use Gnome?

        I use Hyrpland, and so there are times where I need to use GTK or Qt tools. I generally don’t like KDE-based tools though because they are dependency-heavy.
