the user the choice of choosing their customized desktop environment since it comes with different
distributions features like the Konqueror browser and Koffice software. The browser works like
windows, that help you browse the local files or similarly it is a browser itself. If you are looking for
a desktop option with many configuration options, then this can best suit your requirements. It has its
basis on the QT toolkit, meaning it uses different programs compared to other desktops.

GTK toolkit which has installed programs such as text editor, and image viewer.
