@nostupidquestions Distro that always has the latest lxqt installed without commandline?
I was hoping to be able to get their latest start menu asap. Also how's their wayland support? Are they the only light de to support this?

That isn’t really possible, there will allways be a gap between the release of a new version of software and a distribution putting it in their repos.

Arch is famous for keeping the software on the bleeding edge, so I’d look into that, see if you can write a script that will look for new releases of the software, then set a cron job to run the scropt every day.

What do you mean with “without commandline”? Every Linux distribution has a commandline. And I’m pretty sure you can configure Arch or Gentoo in such a way that you’ll never have to use the commandline.

But maybe OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is what you’re looking for. It has GUI tools for every administrative task. But it’s also a rolling release distro that constantly gets new packages. On installation you can select which desktop environment you want.

Bleeding edge or easy to use, take your pick. I think Suse and Endeavour are your best bets for both but neither do both perfectly.

As for Wayland, assume it doesn’t work but maybe you’ll get lucky. As for lightness, I find Gnome and KDE to work perfectly fine even under performance constrained environments. Depends on what you call “light”, I guess. The biggest differentiator these days is (the lack of) hardware video acceleration, on all platforms.
