 LXQt 2.1.0 released

<a href="https://lxqt-project.org/release/2024/11/05/release-lxqt-2-1-0/" rel="nofollow">Version
2.1.0</a> of the https://lxqt-project.org/

lightweight Qt desktop environment has been released. The highlight of
this release is support for multiple Wayland compositors:


Through its new component lxqt-wayland-session, LXQt 2.1.0
supports 7 Wayland sessions (with Labwc, KWin, Wayfire, Hyprland,
Sway, River and Niri), has two Wayland back-ends in
lxqt-panel (one for kwin_wayland and the other
general), and will add more later. All LXQt components that are not
limited to X11 — i.e., most components — work fine on Wayland. [...]

Of course, the X11 session will be supported
indefinitely. Wayland is optional and rather experimental.
