I had downloaded–from Distrowatch, whom I have also notified–the LXQt version onto a USB thumb drive about a week ago now (today is 8/20/2025) and I installed it tonight. That it installed is the good news. The bad is that I somehow downloaded the 7th version Orion and not the 8th. I am not sure how it happened but I have finally updated it to 8. This, however, was an absolute nightmare. It could be worse: it could have been Windows Millennium Edition: Windows Me. Blech! Anyway, there it is.
