So a few months back I asked about you guys os in c/asklemmy, so this time I wanna ask about your desktops you use on this same account.
(I use kde but plan to move to cinnamon I find kde buggy and gnome tracker3 randomly broke for no reason + themeing so yh idk if these happened to anybody)
You can install more than one desktop environment at a time. Your login manager should let you pick which one you want to log into.
yeah i think i like to try new desktops in vms more personally, but if i want 2 desktops at the same time then ok otherwise if i wanted to replace my desktop a full reinstall is better.
You can have them installed next to one another. Just like you can have Firefox and Links installed at the same time. Or twm and gnome3. It comes down to how much work you want for yourself.
I tried it before but I needed to delete the desktop specific mod I downloaded.
You can do that but it gets messy fast and it’s almost impossible to uninstall a DE effectively.
Depends on your distro, I think.
