After six months of development, the user environment LXQt 1.0 (Qt Lightweight Desktop Environment) was released, developed by the joint development team of the LXDE and Razor-qt projects.

The LXQt interface continues to follow the classic desktop organization, bringing a modern look and feel to enhance the user experience. LXQt is positioned as a lightweight, modular, fast, and convenient continuation of the development of the Razor-qt and LXDE desktops, incorporating the best features of both shells.

The code is hosted on GitHub and licensed under GPL 2.0+ and LGPL 2.1+. Builds are expected for Ubuntu Prebuilt (LXQt is offered by default in Lubuntu), Arch Linux, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Mageia, FreeBSD, ROSA, and ALT Linux.
