Kali default settings
This package implements various default settings within Kali.

The size of this package (including its dependencies) should be rather limited because it is included in all Kali images, even minimalistic ones such as container images.

This package is meant to be installed during bootstrap stage, so it shouldn’t have any dependency, or only trivial dependencies.

Installed size: 375 KB
How to install: sudo apt install kali-defaults

kali-defaults-desktop

Kali default settings for graphical desktops
This package implements a subset of various default settings within Kali, in particular those that are used by graphical desktops.

The purpose of this package is mainly to host all configuration changes that have a high cost in terms of diskspace due to the size of the dependencies. This includes notably all gsettings overrides.

Installed size: 1008 KB
How to install: sudo apt install kali-defaults-desktop
