Summary0008386: i3-dotfiles & kali-desktop-i3 metapackage changes
Description

I'm creating this ticket to track the changes I'll be applying to these 2 packages in the coming days, hopefully within this week, and keep the team informed.

i3-dotfiles changes:

  • Change the default terminal to alacritty and add its dotfiles
  • Change the default file manager to Thunar and add its dotfiles
  • Change the default screenshot utility to flameshot
  • Remove rxvt-unicode, pcmanfm and maim related configurations

kali-desktop-i3 changes:

  • Remove rxvt-unicode, maim and pcmanfm
  • Add alacritty, thunar and flameshot

This list is currently not final, but a list of TODOs I've made based on some feedbacks I've received.

I'll share the GitLab URLS/MRs once I apply the changes.

It should be noted that after some testing and research, alacritty has been dropped in favor of kitty.
