More than five months after the release of LXQt 1.0 as the first mature version of this lightweight Qt-based desktop environment for GNU/Linux distributions, here comes the first major update, LXQt 1.1.

LXQt 1.1 is packed with lots of cool changes, starting with better integration of applications that aren’t written in Qt, such as GTK apps through the implementation of the xdg-desktop-portal-lxqt component. With this, apps like Firefox or Chromium will finally be able to use the native LXQt file dialog.

In addition, LXQt’s PCManFM-Qt file manager now supports the file manager DBus interface, which can be used by non-Qt apps like Firefox or Chromium to display files inside folders or do other tasks.
