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

As far as I know on my main account I’m running xorg but the separate account with deepin does not specify. I think default is Wayland

I tried installing several times per different guides. I’ll do my best to remember

Sudo dnf install “deepin desktop”

Sudo dnf install @deepin-desktop-environment

Sudo dnf group install “deepin desktop”

Probably one more I can’t remember

If you want DEEPIN:

Update your system: sudo dnf upgrade --refresh

Install it: sudo dnf group install "Deepin Desktop"

And then after for change reboot your system You can do it from the terminal like: sudo reboot

If you want GNOME try: sudo dnf group install “GNOME Desktop Environment”

Although if: sudo dnf group list hidden -v |grep -i gnome returns nothing it won’t work

If your using gdm you can select DEs like:

It might be you don’t have the group for deepin so it wouldn’t be useless to try grepping for it.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
