Sparky Wiki

Sparky offers a few additional Desktop Environments/Window Managers which are either not available in the Debian Repositories; or have been customized for SparkyLinux.

Some Desktops are available as source code packages hosted by the desktop's developers. The source code is compiled, Debianized or re-Debianized for End Users and placed in the Sparky Repositories.

Home roasted 3rd party Desktops available in the Sparky repos are:

• CDE, The Common Desktop Environment
• Enlightenment
• Jade
• Lumina
• Manokwari

They are installable via Sparky MinimalGUI/CLI ISO images using the Advanced Installer; or Sparky APTus → Desktop section; and may be installed in addition to an existing desktop. If you have any issues installing the Desktops, please report them at the Desktop's Developer's project websites and/or the Sparky Forums.
