kali-defaults
kali-defaults implements various default settings within Kali Linux. It is a lightweight package included in all Kali images, even minimalistic ones like Docker images.
Description
This package provides essential default configurations for Kali Linux systems. Its small size ensures it can be included in every Kali image without significantly impacting footprint, making it ideal for minimal installations.
Use cases include setting up standard Kali behaviors during initial system deployment or image builds. It handles core settings that define Kali's operational defaults.
A related package, kali-defaults-desktop, focuses on graphical desktop settings, hosting configurations with high disk space costs due to dependencies like gsettings overrides.
How It Works
kali-defaults applies predefined configuration files and settings across the Kali system upon installation. It modifies system defaults without requiring user intervention, targeting lightweight implementations suitable for all image types. The desktop variant manages gsettings overrides and other resource-intensive desktop configurations via dependencies like dconf-gsettings-backend.
