Remap "Scroll Lock" in Lubuntu 25.04 LXQt 2.1.0 #keyboard #lubuntu #shortcutkeys #lxqt
Środowiska graficzne Linuxa i ich apetyt na RAM.
Przeprowadziłem krótki test zużycia pamieci RAM wśród kilku popularnych środowisk graficznych. Głównym celem testu było sprawdzenie jak sobie radzą przy małej ilości pamięci RAM, czyli 2GB.
Pod lupę wziąłem środowiska: KDE, Gnome, Mate, Xfce, Lxqt.
Mierzyłem zużycie pamięci w dwóch scenariuszach:
po świeżym starcie/po otwarciu strony w Firefoxie.
Platforma testowa: wirtualka Gnome Boxes na Archu
Parametry wspólne dla każdego systemu: Arch, ustawienia domyślne dla każdego środowiska, 2GB RAMu, 8 rdzeni CPU, 20GB SSD.
Wyniki:
LXQT: 286M / 873M
XFCE: 358M / 871M
MATE: 362M / 904M
GNOME: 665M / 1001M + 148M swap
KDE: 687M / 1011M + 80M swap
Zużycie wahało sie o kilka, kilkanaście mb, screeny starałem się robić przy średnim zużyciu
Zgodnie z przewidywaniami KDE i Gnome są najbardziej "RAMożerne", dodatkowo tylko w tych środowiskach system musiał sięgnąć po swap, więc dodatkowo obniża się wydajność.

LXQt 2.2.0 released with enhanced Wayland support, power profiles in LXQt Power Management, PCManFM-Qt improvements, QTerminal text rendering fixes

#LXQt 2.2 Released with Enhanced Wayland Support
https://linuxiac.com/lxqt-2-2-released-with-enhanced-wayland-support/
I pushed #lxqt 2.2.0 for #crux to my repo for 3.7 & the upcoming 3.8 systems. https://github.com/mac-a-r0ni/lxqt
Ok, I still haven’t grasped the proper formatting for ChangeLog.txt being parsed through the gen_repo_files but I’m getting somewhere with it. #kde6 gear 25.04.0 is up, there’s 3 new deps (like unstable had), and #lxqt 2.2.0 is up as well on Intel. https://slackware.lngn.net/#news
As far as I know, Lubuntu is the only LXQt distro with a real community. That and the system's overall high quality makes this the best LXQt spin out there.
I tested the daily builds a couple of times, and I'm eager to try this new release.
LXQt 2.2 desktop environment introduces enhanced Wayland support, power profile switching, PCManFM-Qt improvements, and better terminal handling.

@thelinuxEXP @slimbook Note that the @fedora 42 #LXQt spin is actually Wayland by default. It uses #Miriway as its compositor.
@nwgpiotr yeah I’ve not gotten configuring it myself much either. #lxqt has a session built with niri but outside of that I’m not sure of the ins and outs of configuring it. I’ve looked at papersway as well (which offers the same, but in sway) and I haven’t gotten the same results. Niri is still early on I feel, things can change over time yet, but it’s a nice start.

postmarketOS to get renamed, because the system isn't just for devices unsupported by factory OS anymore, devs ask the community for suggestions:
https://postmarketos.org/blog/2025/03/04/pmOS-update-2025-02/
(I like how they consider the opinion of the community. Each project/company in the FOSS community should do the same (looking at you, Mozilla...))
