I’ll add a link I hadn’t find when I wrote my last reply.
FYI: I’ve now added it to my prior post; it’s dated 26-March-2022 and its mostly just different language (I’d have quoted it earlier if I’d found it in time)
What’s New? and LXQt version
The Lubuntu team hoped for LXQt 1.0.0 to be in this release, having planned for it to be sync’d from upstream Debian sid where work was being done, alas that didn’t complete and we’re out of time. The backup was to package it ourselves, alas we’re a small team and resources for that weren’t available either.
If you’d like to step up and help us, the small Lubuntu team could definitely use the help. We’re especially short of packagers (who’d have guessed given LXQt 1.0.0 isn’t available as planned & expected due to lack of resources), plus artwork (we’re using the 21.10
sddmwallpaper again you might note, thankfully it was great image from Mahtamun Hoque Fahim).Many changes have been made to the Ubuntu base, even if LXQt is still 0.17. Please see the release notes on our discourse for full details.
