Rhino Linux Guide: Replacing Unicorn (XFCE)

Maybe you're not a fan of XFCE, and would like to keep the same Unicorn elegance, but with a different desktop as a base. UBXI makes that possible.

To search for a UBXI port you can simply run:

rpk install ubxi

From here you can see which desktop environment ports are available and select to install one, such as ubxi-kde-desktop-git. To switch to any generic desktop environment available in normal repositories (GNOME, KDE, etc), select just rhino-ubxi-core (or install rhino-server-core to opt-out of our GUI utilities).

Important: Make sure you've installed an environment before moving on to the next step!

Afterwards, you will safely be able to run rpk remove unicorn-desktop-git (or unicorn-mobile-git).

UBXI is entirely community maintained, and then is verified by Rhino Linux developers. If a port does not exist that you want, you are free to look at our UBXI creation/development page.
