- | Q: My old Dell Optiplex 3050 PC is not new by any stretch of the imagination and has been very happily running LXLE for the last five years, or so. It was snappy and had easy to use software pre-installed and was easy to configure. It also shipped with my favourite idler, Zaz. The only janky thing for me was Parole. The main reason I changed to Lubuntu was basically Appgrid stopped working and Librewolf told me ublock could not be “verified” and was disabled. Lubuntu doesn’t even have a store and has weird choices for software. It used to be LXDE, right? Can I make it into LXLE? | ||

A: Your question is a lot more involved than you think. While it is possible to add the LXDE desktop and software to match LXLE, you have to remember that the underlying tooling also differs. One could replace SDDM with LightDM etc, *if you have the time and patience. You also have to keep in mind that no-one is updating LXDE or fixing any bugs or vulnerabilities. Last time I checked, AppGrid was also dead, but I’m sure you can install another app store. The reason for Librewolf bombing is because the keys changed and it needs to have the old ones removed and then reinstalled. As for Zaz, it should* work on Lubuntu. I understand you like and prefer LXDE, but should you run into issues, there will be no help from zero developers.** | A: Your question is a lot more involved than you think.

A: OK as far as I know, there is no way to remap the Fn-key as it is hard wired. That said, you can faff with the others to get it to your liking. I’m going to assume Gnome, as you didn’t say what desktop you were using. Go to tweaks -> keyboard -> additional layout options -> Alt and Win behaviour, or -> switching to another layout option at the bottom.** | A: OK as far as I know, there is no way to remap the Fn-key as it is hard wired.

**Q: I have recently installed deb-get, but I’m yet to use it. I did the update and I was ready to install Skype, when it was announced that Skype would be ending in 3 months’ time. I was also thinking of getting Firefox instead of the Snap version, but I think that the Snap version may be safer as it is sandboxed.

A: I would think so, but I’d say, let’s cross that bridge when we get there. You can always remain on Ubuntu 24.04, a bit longer, as it is a LTS release and see which way the wind blows. As for Linux Mint, it is a great distro, you cannot go wrong, just remember it always releases a bit after Ubuntu LTS. ** | A: I would think so, but I’d say, let’s cross that bridge when we get there.
