<div>So, booted up in Lu 20.10 and checking the sessions I now
have "Lubuntu" which seems to be thenewer, richer looking,
possibly "Plasma" based GUI DE; and "LXQT Desktop" which seems
to be more of the basic GUI DE; and then ye olde Openbox . . .
minimalistic DE . . . .</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So I don't know if I had "lxde" only a few weeks back, and
then moving up to "groovy" removed it, OR, that was an
imaginary "fabrication" on my part and what I saw as "lxde"
was the "lxqt desktop" option . . . that option seems similar
to what was the traditional "lxde" . . . DE . . . maybe it has
just been "renamed" as the easy way to change the DE, but
under the name it is still . . . the same?? I didn't spend
too long looking at the features offered in lxqt desktop
session . . . but, just saying that especially in linux,
"change is inevitable" . . . the clock runs forward . . . .<br>

<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

<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>

<p>The LXDE desktop I see on Lubuntu 20.04, appears identical to the
LXDE desktop I see on my Debian Buster systems. <br>
</p>
<p>The launcher icon, and the dark, rounded taskbar, as well as the
LXDE splash-screen are the same on Lubuntu 20.04, and on Debian
Buster. <br>
</p>
<p>I suspect the LXDE we get on Lubuntu 20.04, is the same as comes
from Debian. <br>
