LXDE Environment Configuring in Kali Linux
LXDE is a free open-source desktop environment with comparatively low resource requirements. LXDE is written in the C programming language, using the GTK+ 2 toolkit and runs on Unix and other POSIX platforms. Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment (LXDE) is the default desktop environment for many operating systems such as Knoppix, Raspbian, Lubuntu, and so on. Itś window manager is Openbox. LXDE includes GPL licensed code as well as LPGL licensed code.
How To Configure
1. We need to update as we did the system update in our previous post when we are configuring the Xfce and Mate desktop environment in Kali Linux. So open a Terminal window and type then following command.
sudo apt-get install lxde-core lxde
3. Type y when it asks for confirmation on additional space requirements.
4. When the installation is complete we open a Terminal window and type the following command :
update-alternatives --config x-session-manager
This screenshot shows the output for the preceding command :
5. Choose the option lxsession (in our case 2 ) and press Enter.
6. Log out and log in again or restart the machine to see the LXDE desktop Environment.
How to Uninstall
sudo apt-get remove lxde-core lxde

Installer Images
Kali is a rolling Linux distribution, meaning as soon as we have an update, we ship it. Would-be users have a variety of images to choose from. For more information, please see Which Image Should I Download? and Kali Branches. For most users, we recommend the latest “point release” image below, except in cases when a user requires a specific bug patch, in which case the weekly build may be best.
We generate fresh Kali Linux image files every quarter. These become the official «point» releases. These images are tested and subsequently announced with a blog post.
