Xfce4

Script for automatic installation of Xfce4.

Requirements

• Must be root or have sudo privileges

• The script uses pacman package manager

• Use librewolf instead of firefox if yay is installed

Usage

Run the script with the target username (the user who will get Xfce4) as the first argument:

./install.sh <user> <privileged_user>

Since the script uses Yay, it is preferable to use a user with elevated sudo privileges rather than root, as root cannot use Yay.

Packages

• Uses LightDM as login manager
• Uses plank as the dock
• Uses evince as pdf viewer

Theme

GTK Theme: Materia Dark
