Sparky Wiki

Sparky offers a few additional desktop environments/window managers which are not available in repositories of Sparky's parent - Debian (some of them already are).

The desktops are available as source code packages hosted by the desktop's developers. They are taken from them, compiled, debianized or re-debianized for end users and placed in the Sparky repositories.

Home roasted 3rd party desktops available is Sparky repos are:

• CDE
• Enlightenment
• Jade
• Lumina
• Manokwari

The desktops can be installed via Sparky MinimalGUI/CLI iso images (fresh install) or via Sparky APTus → Desktop tab, or via the Synaptic package manager, alongside of an existing desktop.

Make sure that any issues of the desktops should be reported at the desktop's developer's project sites.
