Will Razor-qt be part of Sabayon anytime soon?

Postby cmost » Mon Jan 02, 2012 17:42

This post is more informational rather than a request but I wonder if the new Qt based lean desktop Razor-Qt will become an officially supported desktop in Sabayon. Razor-qt is an advanced, easy-to-use, and fast desktop environment based on Qt technologies. It has been tailored for users who value simplicity, speed, and an intuitive interface. Unlike most desktop environments, Razor-qt also works fine with weak machines.

With the mass exudus from Gnome 3.x and Unity towards lightweight desktops based on GTK (Xfce, LXDE and the like) I find it very interesting that a new lightweight Qt desktop has sprung to life. This could prove a boone for those who find the full blown KDE to be a bit much for their tastes or for their hardware. Here's some information in case others are interested.

Great idea actually. It is in limbo for testing.

@ Wolfden

As I said in my first sentence, I am not making a package request. I was merely interested in hearing what folks think about Razor-qt. It's a young project yet, I woudn't consider it ready for prime time or for newbs. No worries! :D

@ Joost
