I've made this to prevent an edit war from happening in advance.
It's quite clear that SliTaz does use LXDE, just the older version does not. To say that it hasn't been included yet (as it was said on the history page) is just misleading, as the stable version was released way back in march. SliTaz cooking is a complete overhaul from the last one, interface wise, and I don't see why this should be ignored just because it's been deemed not done yet... For the last 6 months, with three binary releases in the mean time. It's hardly an obscure developer release.
Out of interest, is Debian treated the same with its stable versions? Surely stable != current version in every case?-- 217.155.206.150 ( talk) 01:40, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
I've edited some of the citations that were missing. Specifically for Myas OS & VectorLinux. -- 0imagination ( talk) 00:26, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
Apropos this revert], we should reword the mention of GKT+ to say "Unix-like" rather than invoking the the GNU/Linux naming controversy. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 18:23, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
The claims in the introduction need proper citations. Pages containing similar uncited claims, especially from biased sources, is not adequate. I also have to take issue with some of the broad claims, in general. “LXDE is energy efficient and fast compared to other desktops,” doesn't specify which desktops, or even whether it refers to a majority or minority of desktops. To support such claims, you need a source containing actually benchmark and power consumption data, and you further need a proper definition of fast. The claim should be reworded, and proper sources should be provided, if they exist. Bsdaemon ( talk) 04:59, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
After some attempts to clean it up I have removed the rather long and ungainly availability list and replaced it with the Template:LXDE nav box found at the bottom of the article instead. This is not only simpler and neater but adds the the information that LXDE is available for these distros to the distro articles themselves as well. This is similar to what has been done some time ago with Template:Xfce. - Ahunt ( talk) 23:18, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
As of 2 May 2011 the LXDE website domain seems to have expired and been replaced with a placeholder page. I am presuming that they will get around to renewing it soon, but since this has now gone on for almost two weeks, in the meantime I think we need to provide at least a minimal explanation to readers as to why when the click on the website they don't find what they are looking for there. This can all be removed when the domain is renewed. - Ahunt ( talk) 12:19, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
I put this article into Category:Software that was ported from GTK to Qt though it seams like BOTH versions are going to be maintained. Since the current version of LXQt (0.7) is only a port of the available code from GTK+ 2 to Qt (4 or 5) and no new features, it seems ok that LXQt is merely a redirect to this article here. Its the same software, but on top of Qt instead of GTK+. User:ScotXW t@lk 22:36, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
Hello, I would like to disagree with the following claim, for Lxqt should have its own wikipage. 1.) Technically, Lxqt is a fork of Lxde, kinda like MATE and GNOME, but they are classified as seperate. 2.) Ever since 0.9, they have been working on and making their own Software/Applcations. 3.) Its a different Desktop Environment, and all of them are classified as their own. I agree to your claim however that the software is just on Qt, but since its their own version, it should have its own page. Thanks. AwlsomeAlex ( talk) 22:27, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
After Lxqt being released, it has always been noted as a qt port of Lxde, sharing the same wikipage. I believe that it should have its own WikiPage separated from the Lxde, but sill be referenced from being a Qt port. If anyone else agrees to this, I will be willing to create that page. Thanks. :) AwlsomeAlex ( talk) 20:34, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Per messages on the LXDE mailing list (link above), LXDE is still being developed, so the text showing "Final Release" needs to be changed to "Current Release". Thank you.
2601:18D:57F:1CD0:0:0:0:5EF8 ( talk) 19:12, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
The issue is that the current version of the LXDE Wikipedia page states 0.99.2 is the FINAL release.
If this is not the case and LXDE is still being developed, then the Wikipedia page needs to be corrected. What I haven't seen, is a post from one of the LXDE developers either confirming or denying whether LXDE is still being officially developed. If it is, then the information provided could be used on the Talk page.
If it's not, then the Wikipedia page can be deemed correct, as is.- Ahunt ( talk) 19:15, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
Picom (software) redirects to this article, but Picom is not mentioned anywhere at all.
I'm not exactly an established user so I'm not sure how this is supposed to be resolved, but either Picom should be explained on this page or the redirect should be removed.
