LXQt 2.2 Desktop Promises Many Wayland Improvements, QTerminal Updates
LXQt 2.2 promises to further improve the Wayland session introduced in the LXQt 2.1 release and flagged as experimental. In LXQt 2.2, the Wayland session will still be experimental, but it will let you set the default compositor and the screen locker by distribution or system-wide.
The Wayland session will also feature partially enabled input settings, man pages, and updated configuration files. Moreover, the LXQt Runner will allow width configuration, as well as screen settings and position for multi-monitor setups under Wayland.

What to Expect from LXQt 2.2 Desktop Environment
The lightweight LXQt 2.2 desktop environment is set to arrive in mid-April, and the developers have shared a sneak peek at the new features. We’ve rounded up the highlights for our readers, so here they are.
One of the most significant changes is the attention paid to the Wayland session. Distributions can now define a default compositor and screen locker system-wide, and brand-new man pages have been added for easier reference. Also, configuration files have been updated to support the latest compositor version.
Regarding usability, Input Settings is partially enabled again under Wayland, reintroducing workable elements such as cursor theme adjustments. Notably, when you enable this feature in “Appearance Settings,” the cursor theme applies to LXQt and GTK applications, smoothing out potential visual inconsistencies across your desktop.
