Razor-Qt is the lightest Qt-based desktop on the Linux planet. It works well and it does what sets out to do. It runs quick as a match. Additionally, I found it enjoyable to use with Kwin.
Kwin is the default window manager for KDE. Since Razor-Qt doesn't have a window manager, you can use anything. Kwin happens to be the best for me in looks and features. It does window snapping, it doesn't get in your way, and it looks great with its blue shadows and its KDE-oxygen look.
The best way to use Razor-Qt is by downloading Kubuntu 13.04/12.04 LTS, and installing Razor-Qt from the official PPA. By the way, a Google search is all you need.
Razor-Qt works well with Kubuntu because it uses a lot of Qt-based applications, which look nice under Razor-Qt. Whereas, non-qt-based applications look worse than a cat burned to ashes.
Well, is it worth it? If you like Qt-based applications, such as FocusWriter, Kdenlive, qBittorrent, VLC, etc, you might just as well love this desktop environment. It works like a charm and it is faster than KDE by a long shot and does the job for the most part.
Happy computing! See you later.
