Title: Upgrade LXQt to version 1.1.0
Post by: eye_sparkle on August 14, 2022, 09:47:23 AM
Hello,

The LXQt team have released version 1.1.0 but the LXQt edition of SparkyLinux still runs version 0.16.0.

Is it possible to upgrade to 1.1.0? If it is, how?


Best regards,
eye_sparkle

Thank you. It worked and now my machine is running Sparky LXQt 1.1.0 after following the steps mentioned in that link. However, the RAM usage have increased to 420+ MB unlike in the previous/current release running LXQt 0.16.0 which only consumes 280 to 300+ MB of memory.

I hope that the next stable release will use LXQt 1.1.0 and with RAM usage down to 300+ MB or even lower if possible.
