the password also you can click here to select the uh desktop environment and here by default it's norm and this is the default uh xfsc desktop environment comes with the kali linux so i'm going with this one and i'm gonna type the password now as you can see the norm has been installed successfully now the first thing you you can do after it's rebooted either you can delete the default desktop environment of kali linux or you can just switch the default also and you can do whatever you like uh i'm just gonna perform both of uh both of those if you want i'm gonna go to the terminal and i'm
