that is not to say that all change is bad. wayland for example is superior to Xorg. i like LXDE not because i have an affinity for Xorg. Xorg sucks. but I want something that looks feels and functions exactly like LXDE does. i don't want any change.
LXQt is the nearest thing to LXDE, but in my opinion much more bloated and it's always buggy when I use it.
I want LXDE. good old fashioned Gtk2-style LXDE. and i want that ported to wayland. so that i can still use it in the year 2050. and i will.
