Razor-qt is a now defunct free desktop environment for personal computers. Razor merged with LXDE, another project with similar scope and has been perpetuated as LXQt.
The developers describe Razor-qt as "an advanced, easy-to-use, and fast desktop environment based on Qt 4 and has not been ported to Qt 5. It has been tailored for users who value simplicity, speed, and an intuitive interface. Unlike most desktop environments, Razor-qt also works fine with weak machines."[3]
Overview
Razor-qt was still in the early stages of development.[4] As of February 2012[update], the environment includes a panel viewer and switcher, a desktop, an application launcher, a settings center, and sessions. These components can be enabled or disabled by the user.[5]
Razor-qt works with any modern X window manager such as Openbox, fvwm2, or KWin.
The memory consumption of Razor-qt is slightly above the one of LXDE using 114 MB in a reviewer's test while LXDE used 108 MB in a user test.[6]

After LXDE developer Hong Jen Yee ported PCManFM to Qt in early 2013,[7][8] he and other interested developers discussed a potential collaboration with LXDE, another open-source desktop environment with similar software design goals.[9] On 21 July 2013, A representative of the Razor-qt project announced that Razor-qt would merge with LXQt, the Qt port of LXDE.[10] The first release of the new product, LXQt v0.7.0,[11] was made public on 2014-05-07.[12]
