I understand the need for the demise of the bit rot Lubuntu LXDE Desktop, which I find very easy to configure and utilize, on my very old. . .but still wonderful. . . and I suppose bit rot. . .32-bit Dell P4. At the same time, I am saddened because I will have to give up my trusty 32-bit, which runs much better than my 64-bit, yet the 32-bit is 5 years older, and give up the bit rot Lubuntu LXDE Desktop, which has provided me with excellent and reliable usage, ever since 14.04. Bit rot has been very good to me.
So. . .will there be any way to install security/application updates to Lubuntu 18.04 subsequent to the EOL? I understand the Lubuntu LXDE Desktop won't be updated, but what about the Kernel and other necessary updates, such as Firefox or other Programs? Will they still be updated through the Ubuntu Repositories and respective PPA's until 2023, the EOL for regular Ubuntu?
If so, I will be glad to stick with my trusty, reliable bit rot 32-bit Lubuntu until 2023.
Please advise. Thank you!
I am lost with LXQT. Completely baffled. Couldn't even configure the Task Bar. Very frustrating. I also tried the vanilla LXDE and could not configure that either. The Lubuntu LXDE Desktop has, for me, been extremely user friendly, stable and reliable.
