And if you want to do the same it’s pretty straightforward. 😉

Perform all of these as root in a terminal window, or prepend with sudo. (Look elsewhere for GUI steps 🙂 )

  1. Update your repos: 
    apt-get update
  2. Uninstall Unity and ubuntu-desktop: 
    apt-get purge ubuntu-desktop unity-*
  3. Install XFCE Desktop environment: 
    apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
  4. Restart lightdm: 
    /etc/init.d/lightdm restart

Voilà! You’re using XFCE desktop! 😉
