I have read many conflicting things, like always. Just wondering if there’s a safe way to use several DE’s on one distro without messing up my damn computer lol I’ve tried it several times and it always messed things up. I’m currently brand new to fedora workstation 38 too btw. Thanks alot
that’s what I heard and that’s what I tried, but gnome is automatically default with new users obviously. Its fine to just install a new desktop right on top of gnome like that? and are there any other factors I need to worry about such as display managers or anything else? thanks
I am using SDDM (from KDE) for two separate accounts - one for awesome and one for KDE.
on top? the other DE goes to new directories in the system. if your system comes with a display manager (e.g. gdm, lihgtdm) you can select the session during login. for example, in gdm and lightdm there will usually be a gear icon, opening a session type menu of DEs, Wayland compositors and X window managers. The choice should be automatically remembered per user. It’s similar with other display managers (SDDM etc).
Display managers usually let you choose the DE when you log in.
I BELIEVE DDE runs off lightdm. so theoretically, if I enabled lightdm, should the deepin environment finally work properly???
