Having now used LXQt, I'm much happier with LXDE. I'd like
to stick with LXDE as long as realistically possible, though
I understand (I think) the difficulties around that.<br>

Can anyone clear this up, thanks</blockquote>

<div>I'm pretty sure that even in 20.10 Lu that I have now,
the option of LXQT, LXDE, or Openbox sessions are available
on log in?</div>

<div>Possibly Aere G could confirm that, but I believe there
was a conversation regarding something similar not too long
ago here? Likely at least 20.04 . . . I'm a couple days
away from my "lubuntu" day . . . .<br>

<p>I'm pretty sure you have to install the lxde package, before the
LXDE option appears in the "Session" drop-box, near the upper left
corner of the log-in screen. <br>
