Always interesting to see how OPs seem to disappear on ubuntu forums,

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 . . . .
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 . . . .

when I did a fresh install, but I think maybe I had to after

probably would have been 18.04?? And I didn't add lxde . . . but,
I couldn't swear to that . . . . : - ))

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.
Can anyone clear this up, thanks
@et al:
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?
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 . . . .

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.

The LXDE desktop I see on Lubuntu 20.04, appears identical to the LXDE
desktop I see on my Debian Buster systems.
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.
I suspect the LXDE we get on Lubuntu 20.04, is the same as comes from
Debian.
