Compositor [compton > picom ]

[verndog]

I tried to install "compton". Search revealed it has been replaced by "picom".
Any suggestion for a compositor for Sparky LXQT?

Compton hasn't been developed for years now, but it should still be part of debian repo. Run

sudo apt update && sudo apt install compton
What it says?

Picom is compton fork under development but unfortunately there is no Debian package for it (afaik).

It stated, it couldn't find package:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package compton

Thats interesting. Debian tracker clearly states that compton is available.

Copy and paste here content of /etc/apt/sources.list file.
