LXQt probably fits better than LXDE :) I use i3 on the Mint Cinnamon 
laptop and sway on the KDE boxes. Mostly I stick with CLI, possibly with 
LibreWolf open for look-ups. I have had lockups if I start mixing and 
matching. I never dug into it but I think the root cause might be i3 
conflicting with Mutter or sway with KWin.

I had one box that started as GNOME. I didn't care for GNOME and added 
KDE. It mostly worked but was fragile. Updates were interesting.
