Is possible update the LXQT version in Lubuntu 24.04 to more recent 2.0 ?
How to to it ?

You will have to wait for the backport (if any).
Otherwise compile it yourself.
Are you sure you want to do this ? LXQT2.0.0 was designed for Qt6. You need special libraries for it to work with Qt5. And there are sddm bugs which have not yet been ironed out, even on 24.10.

Another approach is to upgrade Lubuntu 24.04 to Lubuntu 24.10 with this command:
sudo do-release-upgrade
In my case the upgrade was finished in 35 min.

Before to upgrade:

  • Make sure to open all programs that you use (like for example Geany of PCManFM-Qt) and close all open tabs.
  • Then eject all external drives, like SD-cards.

If LXQT 2.0 require QT 6 is better not to do an update.
Have an nice day.
