Thanks alot. just the fact that when I try to install the deepin environment, it looks totally off and many important parts are not even functional. so its hard to narrow down if that DE is just crap or if I'm doing it all wrong

I BELIEVE DDE runs off lightdm. so theoretically, if I enabled lightdm, should the deepin environment finally work properly???

thanks man, it's the explorer in me. I nixed that triple boot idea lol so I figured i would choose one distro (fedora 38) and experiement with DE's instead. it has not been working about great to say the least....

keeping them all from sharing the same files and configs and interfering with each other

Endeavour is interesting... however I dont think they have deepin or cutefish, the two DE's I am most interested in trying

man yoiu would think there's an easy way to keep the DE's seperate from one another to avoid any conflictions. without freaking VM damnit lol

wanting to is there something wrong with wanting to explore different DE's?

Man I tried to install the DDE over the fedora workstation and it just did not look right at all. I couldn't even view any apps as the app menu was completely blurrred. Nothing look like it should have looked with deepin

Thanks, but how does one utilize or even explore other DEs within a distro without messing things up? is it just not possible or am I going about it wrong?

ahhh I see, I don't quite know how to configure and tweak the new DE to work properly though. I also read to use different usernames for each DE, but I don't see why that matters.

and it doesn't cause anything funny with conflicting packages and settings? I've read that it does

Thanks, I tried that with deepin on fedora and it was a mess. Maybe it's just that particular environment causing issues.

Very interesting and also such a shame. Manjaro seems to have most support and definitely looks and feel the greatest that I've tried, all well being newbish friendly

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

is it really that simple? I was trying ways to like separate them or block them from each other

That is very surprising to hear. In my mind, if I keep the distros minimal, it seems itd be a simple enough task on the surface. But I guess there's more that goes into it

Hey buddy! sent ya a dm a little while ago

Very very helpful. I tried to install Silverblue last night, but couldn't get it to work. after a successful install, when I go to restart, it just wouldn't restart, it would hang.

Perfect, thank you!

Perfect, thanks for all the replies lol
