The issue you would notice in the file manager is that there’s no context-menu item to open the current folder in the terminal: I open the file manager, and it is displayed in this layout for me by default, there’s no attention to details or even basic UX in LXQt: It looks like the developers’ solution to this problem was only by expecting users to create a new quick launch area, and then dragging the wanted icons for each area:Īt this point I was wondering whether all of this is real or not?

LXQt is still a horrible desktop environment, despite the fact that it has been around for years now. This is the default Lubuntu 20.04 desktop:
