  # See: https://www.kali.org/docs/general-use/xfce-faq/
  # Install xfce and remove gnome
  apt install kali-desk-xfce  # choose light dm
  update-alternatives --config x-session-manager # choose Xfce's option
  
  # after setup xfce, if you wanna remove gnome or not
  apt purge --autoremove kali-desktop-gnome
  # if still have issues back up .cache .config .local, then:
  rm -r .cache .config .local
