[lubuntu-users] 18.04 LTS support length? (uninvolved at outlook.com)

> OK, glad to hear that, but if you were following the gist of it, you **might** be able to upgrade to the newest LTS . . . and then simply add "lxde" . . . and you would have the tried and true, but "olden" "lxde" GUI, stacked on the freshest LTS??

I like to run a build that stays close to the defaults, but I'm likely to end up finding a way to keep LXDE going in perpetuity - unless there are security issues with it. It's a pretty mature DE and hopefully I can keep it going.

I've tried LXQt and, well, I didn't find it appealing. I'll continue to test it, as time allows.

LXDE helps me make things simple and elegant, so that I can get a DE like this pretty easily:

Meh... Maybe I'm just old and stuck in my ways. I'll keep LXQt in mind and test it again soon.
