Alternative Desktop Environment (Pantheon / Elementary)

[materangai]

Hi

Has anyone played around with alternative Desktop environments with any success?

There are loads of thread about install different ones on Ubuntu and I wondered if it would be as easy on Kali. The Pantheon desktop from Elementary OS is particularly intriguing,

Thanks :)

There is a package for Jessie you could install here Pantheon Desktop on Debian (https://gitlab.com/pantheon-debian/pantheon-debian/wikis/home)

By any chance have you do this? I get a load of dependency errors:


apt-get install pantheon pantheon-desktop pantheon-shell wingpanel wingpanel-indicator-launcher slingshot-launcher libgala0 libmutter0e --install-suggests

Does it give an error if you just install:

apt-get install pantheon
