LXDE desktop

LXDE, which stands for Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment, was designed in 2006 by Hong Jen Yee, a Taiwanese programmer who wrote the first module of LXDE. It was a file manager. This is reminiscent of the creation of the Linux kernel itself, where Linus Torvalds started with a file manager module. Installations had problems, but the live disk seems to work well. I noticed the Kali-Linux graphical installation asks for machine domain but regular installation does not. The following screenshot shows the default LXDE desktop.

This desktop environment is also reminiscent of Windows XP with the menu launch button in the lower-left corner:

To change the desktop background, go to the menu in the lower-left corner and choose Preferences | Desktop Preferences. The menu is shown in the next screenshot. If you want great choices for background images, check out https://pixabay.com/:
