#636 Create a page for the new LXQt spin
Closed: Fixed 6 years ago Opened 7 years ago by robyduck.

As a self contained change F26 will ship the LXQt spin. Trademark approval is on its way [1] and we will need to create a page for F26.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/LXQt_Spin
Spins are supposed to run through the whole release cycle, that means we will have images starting from Alpha release.

@lupinix: we will need the usual things for final:
Screenshot FullHD 1920x1080
A slogan, text and the official support channels
* 9 main features

If you have anything else, please add it here.

@veon please use the WIP/python-classroom-lab branch if you want to start working on this. The branch is for the new python-classroom lab spin and the LXQt spin, and will be merged for F26 final release date.
Thanks.

Thanks for your first update here. Please pay attention to:

  • correct naming; the spin is called LXQt and not LXQT;
  • Image positioning;
  • Header png files are missing;
  • text has missing quotes; escape special characters if you have issues with genshi;
  • if you need features or help with description, just ask the maintainer @lupinix : he will be happy to help you;
  • spins.fp.o index has no LXQt section.

Thanks again and happy hacking.

Hello,

I almost finished it.

@lupinix to complete correctly I need to:

  • other featured apps:
    2 Utilities & Configuration
    2 Office & Productivity Suite
    3 Multimedia
  • Documentation link
  • other screenshot

Thanks and you're welcome!

Featured apps:

  • Utilities and Configuration

    • QTerminal
    • dnfdragora (new frontend for DNF)
  • Office & Productivity Suite

    • We have none, only FeatherPad editor for basic text editing
    • qpdfview
  • Multimedia

    • Dragon player for videos
    • Lximage-Qt image viewer

Hi,

I just checked the page, looks awesome! Two points (I forgot to update the wiki page of the change, sorry)
* Trojita has been removed (not stable enough yet), we decided to ship no mail application at all
* qbittorrent has been replaced by transmission-qt

Greetings,
Christian

If you need a new app for the "going online": we don't have more. So I suggest to put NetworkManager there (yes, also config utility, but needed to go online ;))

Wow, that's really late now...but having no mail application at all sounds weird to me.
NetworkManager is not really a featiure, isn't it? Don't you have any other app which is used to go online?

Yes, sorry, was busy :( We have no mail application now, we made a small poll and most of them said "I use webmail anyway, just skip it". Also as a result of these polls the LXQt spin is quite minimalistic, so there are no more apps for going online.

LXQt is live now, for any specific issue please open a new ticket.
