LXQt is a lightweight, modular, and fast desktop environment, while KWin is the window manager for KDE Plasma. Wayland is a protocol for a compositor to talk to its clients, as well as a C library implementation of that protocol.
To use LXQt with KWin on Wayland, you'll need to:
1. **Install LXQt and KWin:**
```sh
sudo apt install lxqt kwin-wayland
```
2. **Set KWin as the window manager for LXQt:**
Edit the LXQt session settings to use KWin instead of its default window manager (Openbox). This can be done by editing the `~/.config/lxqt/session.conf` file:
```ini
[General]
window_manager=kwin_x11
```
3. **Start a Wayland session:**
You might need to create a custom session file for LXQt with KWin on Wayland. Create a file named `lxqt-kwin-wayland.desktop` in `/usr/share/wayland-sessions/` with the following content:
```ini
[Desktop Entry]
Name=LXQt KWin Wayland
Comment=Lightweight Qt Desktop Environment with KWin on Wayland
Exec=startlxqt
Type=Application
DesktopNames=LXQt
```
4. **Log in to the new session:**
Log out of your current session, and on the login screen, select the new "LXQt KWin Wayland" session.
Note: Wayland support in LXQt and KWin is still evolving, so you might encounter some issues. Make sure to check the latest documentation and community forums for any updates or troubleshooting tips.
