Thanks for all of the work that has gone into LXLE, this has been my favorite general desktop Linux distro. Are there any plans for LXLE based on the 18.04 LTS release? I'd be happy to help if needed.
Not sure, they've been actively trying to kill the lxde desktop environment for years now. Looks like they are finally discontinuing any development for good as they are hell bent on lxqt.. which is 'ehh' at best. I noticed they're starting to provide more software loaded by default... my only guess is because no one has any idea what friggin lightweight apps if any exist in QT land.
As for me. I'm considering taking LXLE in a crunchbang direction. I like gtk stuff.
