How can I convert my existing Ubuntu installation into Ubuntu Kylin?

Will just changing the repositories do the trick?

It is sufficient to run 

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntukylin-desktop

The metapackage ubuntukylin-desktop provides all the standard apps for Kylin desktop, although in the past releases there were a few packages missing ( for instance, on my 16.04 system wechat webapp was only in the installation from an actual iso images, and WPS office had to be installed manually )

  • Then please accept this answer. Also, it is better to keep using only one DE (Desktop Environment) Otherwise they might make conflict. If you know you wont use Ubuntu (Unity) remove it and just keep using kylin – Mostafa Ahangarha Mar 30 '17 at 16:02
