Perhaps the most significant update is the default desktop environment, which is now Xfce, a change that was made mostly for issues related to performance. And its 2020.1 update, released in January 2020, built upon the new foundation. In Kali Linux version 2019.4, released at the end of 2019, Offensive Security made significant changes to how Kali looks and feels. There are actually many things that can be done to customize the installation, but we just want the quick-and-dirty process.

Offensive Security is the team behind Kali Linux, a Debian-based system.

Kali Linux has come a long way since its BackTrack days, and it's still widely considered the ultimate Linux distribution for penetration testing.
