This guide walks you through installing the lightweight LXDE desktop on Fedora 36, beginning with enabling RPM Fusion or Fedora Extras repositories so the LXDE meta‑package is available. It then refreshes the DNF cache and installs the lxde‑desktop package, ensuring all necessary components are pulled in together. Next, it disables GNOME’s GDM service and enables LXD, the lightweight display manager that ships with LXDE, while also providing a step to set LXDE as the default session via ~/.dmrc for automatic login. Finally, the article includes troubleshooting tips such as reinstalling lxde‑desktop if themes fail to load and instructions for switching back to GNOME by toggling systemctl services.

It then lists the required libraries—gcc-c++, libffi-devel, openssl-devel, and python3-devel—to prevent common build errors before adding the official Mirage repository via a single dnf command. After installing Mirage from that repo, the tutorial shows how to verify the version, launch it, and review logs if something goes wrong, concluding with instructions for setting up an autostart desktop entry so the app runs on login.
