Yes, the tenor has changed over the months to keep the base of users in tact.   

But, if you read the 'tea leaves' this desktop lineage is on the move,
and devs are few and very limited to support several trunks.

What your not continuing with LXDE?  Dude, lxde is dead; there just is no
scheduled funeral announce until lxqt is more feature rich, *imho*.  ymmv.

I read this. I see no commitment to lxde long term. He is newly installing,
so lxde is probably a bad choice, if he intends to use it for a few years.
ymmv. Futhermore is Weyland in his sights?  Dunno, but that seems to
be the target, with qt5 resource utilization. I bet many codes that are
centric to qt4 will not keep up, and thus be dropped, eventually.


hth,
