I am using lubuntu 18.04 lts lxde since thats the last 32bit x86/i386 version and it works great on old PCs. I guess I have no basis of comparison with lxqt since those builds are offered as 64bit only but I really like how the desktop of lxde and lots of apps are still using gtk2, supporting older themes. overall I may have to switch to Debian if they are still supporting lxde on x86 32bit machines when lubuntu 18.04 LTS goes out of support but im tying not to think of that now 😃
