@Standreas,

Thank you for your feedback regarding LXQt. You are correct that the default apps listed in the article are not all correct, and that there is no single “default WM” for LXQt.

LXQt is a lightweight desktop environment that is designed to be modular and flexible. This means that users can choose to use different components and applications to create a desktop environment that is tailored to their own needs and preferences.

The default applications that are included with LXQt can vary depending on the distribution that you are using. For example, Lubuntu uses Qps as its default file manager, while LXLE uses pcmanfm-qt.

Similarly, the default window manager for LXQt can also vary depending on the distribution. Some distributions use Openbox as the default window manager, while others use KWin or even IceWM.

The default applications and window manager for LXQt can be changed by the user at any time. To do this, you can use the LXQt configuration center or the LXQt settings panel.

Here is a list of the default applications and window manager for the most popular LXQt distributions:

Lubuntu: Qps (file manager), Openbox (window manager)
LXLE: pcmanfm-qt (file manager), Openbox (window manager)
Manjaro LXQt: Thunar (file manager), KWin (window manager)
Bodhi Linux: Enlightenment (file manager), Enlightenment (window manager)

If you are using a different LXQt distribution, please consult the distribution documentation to find out which applications and window manager are used by default.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

They are:

pcmanfm-qt
lximage-qt
Qps
Qterminal
