LXDE is written in the C programming language and uses the GTK 2 toolkit. There is also an experimental GTK 3 port developed by the Arch Linux community.

LXQt is a free and open source lightweight desktop environment. It was formed from the merger of the LXDE and Razor-qt projects.

While LXDE uses GTK2 and GTK3, LXQT uses Qt Toolkit.

In 1998, Mozilla launched their website http://mozilla.org and redesigned their mascot as a larger, fiercer red Tyrannosaurus.

In 2012, the Tyrannosaurus mascot was removed from official Mozilla branding, and replaced by a "Mozilla" wordmark.

Kandalf the wizard was the former mascot for the KDE community from 1998 to 2001.

Imagemagick was first released in 1990. ImageMagick can create, edit, compose, or convert digital images. It can read and write images in a variety of formats.

We could say that Debian is a hard and strong Linux distribution, just like the hardness of a sea shell.

Or how Debian can be compared to a crustacean, because it was first released in 1993, making it old and reliable.

But did you know that Debian lives in the deepest parts of peoples hearts, like sea shells live in the deepest parts of the oceans.

The word "Debian" was formed as a portmanteau of the first name of his then-girlfriend Debra Lynn and his own first name.

Both images share certain characteristics that are similar.
