I know about LXLE, based on Focal, and I know Lubuntu stopped using LXDE as its standard desktop a few years ago. I also recognize one can install LXDE to use with any Ubuntu-based distribution. I’m curious whether there are any other distros whose standard install uses LXDE (like Lubuntu used to do).

  • @noisefloor Ah, I didn’t know that (obviously!). I will wait a little to see any other responses, but I’m guessing if you make your comment a response I will be able to accept it as answering my Q. – Al C Nov 03 '23 at 15:35

    I consider this question to be on topic despite the general wording of it to the contrary because the accepted answer shows that this question is on topic. – karel Nov 04 '23 at 11:44

There is a dedicated thread for this topic in the forum related to the LXDE project: https://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?t=41494.

As you correctly say, Lubuntu switched to LXQt so there is not more *buntu which comes with LXDE as the standard desktop. However, if you have a desktop-less Ubuntu installation you can add the LXDE desktop installing the lxde package: sudo apt install lxde. Or you use tasksel and select the "lxde task".

    I did this a while back on a 22.04 install for a computer I maintain for an elderly relative (they were used to using Lubuntu 18.04). It works well. – Organic Marble Nov 03 '23 at 21:39
