Linux desktop environment

Do you want to install a complete Linux desktop in your workspace, that you can use via browser? You can select one of desktop environments from the Alnoda hub and install it in the workspace with a single command!

In the Alnoda hub you will find

• XFCE: Lightweight and fast, ideal for lower-end hardware or users who prefer a simple, efficient desktop without sacrificing functionality.

• LXDE/LXQt: Extremely lightweight and resource-efficient, perfect for very old hardware or minimalistic setups.

• MATE: A continuation of GNOME 2, providing a classic desktop experience with simplicity and ease of use.

For example in order to install LXDE desktop in the Alnoda workspace, open workspace terminal and execute

$ wrk install lxde-desktop

Note

Installation of Linux desktop might take some time. Wait untill the process is finished.
