Razor-Qt is a lightweight desktop similar to KDE that uses the Qt GUI toolkit for windows and other graphical elements. The plus point of Razor-Qt is that its lightweight as XFCE/LXDE as well as attractive and eye candy as KDE.

We had covered earlier how to install Razor-Qt in Fedora and other RPM based distros. Its also possible to install Razor-Qt in Ubuntu, Linux Mint and other distros based on Ubuntu. For that you will need to add external package archive in form of PPA. Open terminal and run the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:razor-qt
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install razorqt
