LXQt 1.2 Desktop Environment Released with Initial Wayland Support, Various Improvements
LXQt 1.2 is here about seven months after LXQt 1.1 and it’s a major update to the lightweight desktop environment that introduces initial support for the Wayland display server in an attempt to keep up with the times and the new technologies most GNU/Linux distributions are adopting these days.
Still based on the long-term supported Qt 5.15 LTS open-source application framework, LXQt 1.2 also improves its file manager component with a new search history feature that offers separate lists for name and content searches. Users can search the maximum number of history items in Preferences > Advanced > Search.

LXQt 1.2 Desktop Environment Released, This Is What's New
LXQt 1.2.0 is still based on Qt 5.15, as this release includes many new features for the File Manager, Panel, QTerminal, and so on.
LXQt is a free, open-source, lightweight, and user-friendly desktop environment built using Qt libraries. It consists of many small individual components like a panel, session manager, hotkey daemon, and more.
It is an excellent choice if you require a low-resource, nearly fully-featured desktop environment. So, users looking for extreme performance in a desktop environment should consider LXQt.
Today, nearly seven months after the previous release of LXQt 1.1, this lightweight desktop environment has surprised its users with the release of LXQt 1.2.0. So, let’s see what’s new.

The LXQt Desktop updated to 1.2.0 - PCLinuxOS
LXQt is a free and open source lightweight desktop environment. It was formed from the merger of the LXDE and Razor-qt projects. Like its GTK predecessor LXDE, LXQt does not ship or develop its own window manager, instead LXQt lets the user decide which window manager they want to use. Linux distributions commonly default LXQt to Openbox or xfwm4 or kwin.
