How can I install LXQt on Armbian?

[shaulreznik]

I’m trying to set up a lightweight desktop environment on Armbian Trixie. When I use tasksel, it installs a lot of extra packages, including GNOME. How can I install LXQt manually?

In addition to what Werner said, I would like to point to the option of not installing recommended packages.  "sudo apt install --no-install-recommends lxqt".  Personally, i like to use aptitude for package management for more control and transparency.

It seems to me that Gnome is installed by tasksel because you didnt deselect it. I mean that gnome is selected by default.
