#Linux Weekly Roundup for April 20th, 2025: #Fedora Linux 42, #Ubuntu 25.04, #LXQt 2.2, #KDE Gear 25.04, #NVIDIA 575 beta, #Manjaro 25.0, #GNOME 48.1, #VirtualBox 7.1.8, Linux 6.13 EOL, #PipeWire 1.4.2, MX Linux 23.6, #PeaZip 10.4, #qBittorrent 5.0.5, and much more https://9to5linux.com/9to5linux-weekly-roundup-april-20th-2025

I pushed #lxqt 2.2.0 for #crux to my repo for 3.7 & the upcoming 3.8 systems. https://github.com/mac-a-r0ni/lxqt

Ok, I still haven’t grasped the proper formatting for ChangeLog.txt being parsed through the gen_repo_files but I’m getting somewhere with it. #kde6 gear 25.04.0 is up, there’s 3 new deps (like unstable had), and #lxqt 2.2.0 is up as well on Intel. https://slackware.lngn.net/#news

As far as I know, Lubuntu is the only LXQt distro with a real community. That and the system's overall high quality makes this the best LXQt spin out there.

I tested the daily builds a couple of times, and I'm eager to try this new release.

While I'm testing all the LXQt distros I can find, I am pretty sure I will not be able to leave KDE Plasma 6 (via Fedora Kinoite) behind. It's too good and too fast.

I couldn't change the backlight/brightness level on the Debian 12.9 LXQt live session, and this fix (via Google) worked:

$ sudo apt install liblxqt-backlight-helper

I'm giving Lubuntu a tryout. I forgot that I ran it on an old Thinkpad R32 back in the LXDE days.

It uses LXQt now and looks pretty nice. There's more polish than with Fedora LXQt and a slightly better app mix.

I like that Lubuntu has a community, a blog and a handbook.

Tomorrow I'll have to see how Snaps work, and I will expect the Google Chrome .deb to shit the bed just like in "full" Ubuntu. Hopefully I can sort that one out.

I have been able to work all day using the Fedora LXQt spin.

This success owes a lot to the developers of LXQt and Fedora. This is a really nice project.

It's also the first time I've used non-atomic Fedora in a long, long time. I'm going to have to give Fedora Xfce a try.

I'm running the Fedora LXQt live image today, and so far I'm not hating it.

I could see giving this Spin ... a spin.
