How can I try debian for arm with lxde on my ubuntu mac os or windows computer ?
You can run debian armhf in qemu using the "versatile express" platform/kernel.

Unfortunately i'm not aware of a good tutorial https://lists.debian.org/debian-arm/2014/01/msg00074.html and the replies to it pointing out where he messed up should have most of the information you need if you are reasonablly competant with linux.

My advice is to leave desktop environment unselected in the installer and then manualy install X and lxde after installer. If you try to install the graphical environment though the installer it will probablly try to install gnome3 which is not what you want.

I'm not sure what the graphics situation with versatile express in qemu is either. My guess is you probablly have a framebuffer with no acceleration but I could be wrong on that.
