Not much lighter than kde outside of ram usage. (consider lxde, or just a wm)
See that's what I thought, and that's what I got from simulating both systems in the virtual machine, but on my particular hardware LXQT ran a tad bit faster. I tried a few straight-up WM's but I didn't like them. On my main PC, which is about five years old, LXQT ran about as fast as KDE and LXDE was predictably wicked fast.
I'm reinstalling Linux onto a legitimate hard drive (it was on a microSD). I'll install both again and see what happens. Although really, I just need enough to run TeamViewer so I can control my other machines from there.
