Recently upgraded to Kali 2 and the desktop is horrible. How do you move this? Also, how do you add and remove applications from it? Thanks.
The desktop enviroment is Gnome Shell (also known as Gnome 3.x) it's the successor to Gnome 2.x ;-)
The thing you do not like is basically a quickstart - with gnome-tweak tool and additions from https://extensions.gnome.org/ you can customize the desktop enviroment.
You're right!! It is a stupid thing! Use awesomeWM instead O:
Thanks for the links everyone, I think I got it squared away.
I might just find more and more things I loathe about GNOME 3 though and switch to a different desktop environment.
Cheers!
I don't know what Kali used for gnome 3 but if it used gnome 2 then your best choice would probably mate as it's basically a fork of gnome 2 thats still being maintained
Yeah I think it was GNOME 2. I'll look into mate, didn't know that about it. Thanks!
