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

    What things are being messed up? You should be able to just install as many DEs as you want without them interfering with each other - just select which you want on the login screen,

        No, it really is that simple. I’ve got Cinnamon installed since I prefer it for everyday; also, Gnome3 on Wayland for gaming (I’ve three monitors with different refresh rates, which doesn’t work as you’d hope on X11). Log out, change desktop, log in again. No problems at all, except for more packages to update.
