Hi Didier, just a quick review of the recent Slint 15.0 RC, it was quick because my son is all over me
Slint boots fine, hit Enter at Grub and selected Portuguese (Portugal) wich also work fine
Booting from Slint I always get this message:
Loading the kernel and installer initrd. Please wait...
vga=normal is deprecated. useset gfxpayload=text before linux command instead.
It doesn't interfere in any way, but just for the record.
In the welcome screen(console)

Choose install with a description per line....
All went well but i saw this
$pkgname thing instead of the name of the package...
It was nice to see that
libreoffice-l10n-pt Portuguese and
aspell-pt_PT were installed by default.
In the end of the installation when choosing the
desktop environment/Window manager this appears:
......
fvwm
lxqt
mate
wmaker
A sua escolha: lxqt <-- (in Portuguese, my desktop choice)
lxqt has been chosen.
Running update_all. Please be patient...
The last text, after
lxqt is in English.... is this normal?
Anyway, the installation is very intuitive
I restarted the system....
First boot went well
In ligthdm-greeter:
because of:
Edit the lightdm-greeter to become more centered:
Both
mate and
lxqt performs well, just needs a little tweaking in appearance and everything is to our liking.
For e.g this mixture of dark with light in
lxqt not the most pleasant to look at by default:
Some more screenshots...
LXQt

Typing
slint-doc pt_PT in the terminal:
If I have time I will try to report any bugs I find....
