Issues & Assistance

Hello everyone.
I’m using KDE and I’m happy with it so far. But I would like to have a look at lxqt.
What is the best way to install lxqt under cachyOS ?

Just Installed No Desktop version. and after that you can login to your user or root. and use below commands :

# Install X.org server and basic components
sudo pacman -S xorg xorg-server xorg-xinit

# Install LXQt and basic applications
sudo pacman -S lxqt xdg-utils ttf-dejavu sddm

# Install a terminal emulator if you don't have one
sudo pacman -S qterminal

# Enable the SDDM display manager service
sudo systemctl enable sddm

# Create a basic ~/.xinitrc file to start LXQt
echo "exec startlxqt" > ~/.xinitrc

After running these commands:

  1. Reboot your system: sudo reboot
  2. SDDM should start automatically and present you with a login screen
  3. Log in to start your LXQt session
