lxqt but not working

Hallo,
i was using plasma but my laptop is slow so i wanted to try lxqt. I installed it using desktop profiler and once rebooted plasma was still on.
Browsing application i can see lxqt app installed along with plasma ones but plasma is the windowmanager active.
How can get rid of plasma and use lxqt.
thanks

Antonio

Welcome to the forum

Log from Plasma session out, select LXQt session on the login screen and log in.

What are the specifications of your laptop/computer?
The Trinity environment might work well, but if you're happy with LXQt, stick with it

thx, and thank you for your quick answer

ok, i got it, well lxqt is so minimal, from plasma to lxqt seems to go back in the past :=) but is also very very fast.

Its a hp laptop with celeron CPU and 4 GB RAM. I'll try trinity, the switch from
plasma to lxqt was  shocking
