LXQt on FreeBSD
LXQt is the Qt port of LXDE, the Lightweight Desktop Environment. It is the product of the merge between the LXDE-Qt and the Razor-qt projects.
Install the LXQt (0.13.0) desktop
l10n packages with translations are not available at the moment, as they will be integrated into each component in a 0.14 release announced to be released by upstream 2019-01-25
A meta port x11-wm/lxqt is planned for 0.13.
