The Lumina Desktop Environment (Lumina for short) is a lightweight, XDG-compliant, BSD-licensed desktop environment that focuses specifically on streamlining the ability to get work done while minimizing system overhead. As of version 0.8.0+, it requres Qt 5, the Fluxbox window manager, and uses a small number of X utilities for various tasks, such as numlockx and xscreensaver.

Lumina's features include:

- Very little system overhead.

- Intelligent "favorites" system for creating quick shortcuts to applications, files, and directories.

- ZFS file restore functionality through the "Insight" file manager.

- Desktop system is plugin-based, which is similar to Android or other modern operating systems.

- Simple access to operating system-specific functionality such as screen brightness, audio volume, and battery status.
