How to install Xubuntu in Trisquel?

David,

xubuntu uses xfce as it's Desktop Environment/Window Manager. So all
you would have to do is install xfce and that should get you where you want
to be.

I run xfce instead of the default myself because it is much more
customizable.

If you like xubuntu default theme, greybird, just install murrine-themes and
it will be available in appearance configuration.

You know, after all that fuss I made, I've been using XFCE for a few days now
and it's so fragmented! Way more than Unity and Trisquel desktops. Thunar
file manager is especially annoying... No search!? I was trying to avoid
figuring out how to revert my broken Trisquel Desktop and ended up just
reverting back to my initial Clonezilla image. What I am learning is Linux
Desktop environments are pretty fragile. From now on, I will log any changes
I make to my system and associate it with fairly frequent Clonezilla images.

Actually I'm not a disappointed as I may seem. I love this learning process.
I'm finally understanding what it means to take full responsibility for my
software based choices :) The empowerment I get from using Linux is way worth
it!

Here's another way of installing the Xubu look into Trisquel

The magnificent Xfce has been around for 20 years now, polished, patched,
tweaked and made as stable as it gets.
If you find it "fragmented" you are doing it wrong. Maybe try and compile
4.12 on a fresh netinstall and enjoy.

If you want to get a desktop that works like Xubuntu, but minus the non-free
software, maybe installing XFCE, Xubuntu's wallpapers, and Xubuntu's theme on
Trisquel, then booting into the Xubuntu Live CD and taking the configuration
files (make the file manager show hidden files and take the .config (if I'm
not mistaken - I hope XFCE houses its config files there) folder in the Live
CD's home folder) and then copying it to your Trisquel installation will
help.

Greybird gtk theme in /usr/share/themes
elementary-xfce icon theme in /usr/share/icons

Congrats! You got yourself Xubuubbnunntu.

P.S- reverting the Xfce DE to its default looks and settings is trivially
easy. I do think you just lack experience with it. Respectfully, mate. cheers
