Rock-solid but sleek with LXQt, I plan to stick with this distro for a couple of years to escape all the SystemD nonsense, age verification, and forced woke stuff found in other distros/flavors. It might be cool in the future if it let you choose the init system, instead of just sticking you with the classic Sysvinit. I switched to Runit after installing everything, and it’s absolutely smooth. I hope this distro stays alive, sticks around for a long time, and keeps the LXQt flavor, which is the GOAT.

I am looking for ways to disable tooltips in LXQT before I become a QT developper. There are three fads currently running: transparency, round corners and tooltips, and of those three I cannot stand tooltips. They get in the way and disrupt my workflow. I thought someone may have solved this problem, but unfortunately not Expirion. Expirion LXQT installs fine and comes with sensible default settings. Although some bias towards multimedia: brasero, audacity, hadnbrake... most perplexing of all, easytag as default fm? While there is no single program to edit images. No lazpaint, no mtpaint, no kolourpaint, no pinta, no gimp. There is some lag after startup. Normally, in systemd distros, when panel and desktop are set up, you are ready to go. here you click on terminal for example and must wait a couple of seconds before it appears. Also the installed size of 6-7 GB is big, considering Devuan base, Anyway, it installs fine and works, which cannot be said about many more reputable distros. Was this review helpful?

There is a basic guide on the Sourceforge website under Files/Documentation that tells you how to partition your drive- The Refracta Installer actually works on Expirion I could not get it to work on Devuan After installation was complete Expirion boots up and all my hardware was detected on my Dell Latitude E6530 Laptop. Expirion is fast and very stable and has flatpak installed by default and is running Debian Kernel 6.16.3 - I enjoy this distro and is now my daily driver Was this review helpful?
