LXQt 2.3 Released With Improved Wayland Support
LXQt 2.3 is out today as the newest release of this lightwight, Qt-based desktop environment.
A major theme of LXQt 2.3 has been on continuing to enhance its Wayland support for those preferring to use Wayland over X11. The LXQt Panel has better Wayland support, desktop switcher support with more compositors, the custom command plug-in is now more flexible under Wayland, and screen grab functionality has started to work under Wayland.
The LXQt desktop switcher support works with Wayland compositors supporting the ext-workspaces-v1 protocol. LXQt 2.3 also adds advanced backend functionality when using with Wayfire. LXQt power management also now supports turning off the monitor now on Wayland with the KWin, Niri, or Hyperland compositors.
QTerminal meanwhile has added emoji flags support. LXQt Archiver has included LZ4 support for some of the non-Wayland LXQt 2.3 changes.
