Xfce templates
==============


If you would like to use Xfce (more lightweight compared to GNOME
desktop environment) Linux distribution in your qubes, you can install
one of the available Xfce templates for
:doc:`Fedora </user/templates/fedora/fedora>`,
:doc:`Debian </user/templates/debian/debian>`,
`CentOS <https://forum.qubes-os.org/t/19006>`__, or
`Gentoo <https://forum.qubes-os.org/t/19007>`__.

Installation
------------


The Fedora Xfce templates can be installed with the following command
(where ``X`` is your desired distro and version number):

.. code:: bash

      [user@dom0 ~]$ sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-X-xfce


If your desired version is not found, it may still be in
:doc:`testing </user/downloading-installing-upgrading/testing>`. You may wish to try again with the testing
repository enabled:

.. code:: bash

      [user@dom0 ~]$ sudo qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-templates-itl-testing qubes-template-X-xfce


If you would like to install a community distribution, like CentOS or
Gentoo, try the install command by enabling the community repository:

.. code:: bash

      [user@dom0 ~]$ sudo qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-templates-community qubes-template-X-xfce


If your desired version is not found, it may still be in
:doc:`testing </user/downloading-installing-upgrading/testing>`. You may wish to try again with the testing
repository enabled:

.. code:: bash

      [user@dom0 ~]$ sudo qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-templates-community-testing qubes-template-X-xfce


The download may take a while depending on your connection speed.
