Install XFCE CentOS 8

As CentOS is new, we need to add additional repos, namely epel-testing.

First, install yum utils to get yum-config-manager

yum install yum-utils -y
dnf install yum-utils -y

Then, enable EPEL testing which has all the missing packages from CentOS 7 in CentOS 8.

yum install epel-release -y
yum-config-manager --enable epel-testing

Bare minimum desktop:

yum install xfce4-panel Thunar xfce4-appfinder xfdesktop xinit Xorg -y

All the extras:

dnf --enablerepo=epel-testing install xfce4-panel Thunar thunar-volman tumbler tumbler-extras \
xfce4-appfinder xfce4-power-manager xfce4-settings \
xfdesktop xfce4-session  xfce4-terminal  \
xfce4-notifyd -y

      Should be

      startxfce4

      And if you’re on the command line

      nohup startxfce4 &

      If you get an error, use the correct display

      You can also check using TAB completion:

      start typing start and then press TAB twice and it will list all the commands in all your $PATHs that start with “start”
