yeah that's an sddm standard feature if you have more than one DE installed, or do you mean a tool to install another de without the terminal?
MA tool to install another desktop.
K
Kwe'll never do that, to be 100% clear
K1 desktop per image, zero support for switching without reinstalling
KRight now we support KDE & GNOME, Budgie is next on our target list
MUgh.
KAdditionally, I will personally never make a Hyprland image
Kthat's my call
KFor us to consider a DE, it must
K1: Support Wayland by default
K2: Support VRR
K3: Support HDR
K4: Support DRM leasing
Kwithout those, no-go.
KGnome fails both last ones
Swhat situation do you need multiple DEs? a work/home thingy? that's the only thing I can think of that would warrant something like that, and at that point just dual boot or something
KGNOME gets grandfathered in, the little bastard child
Hits a requirement for any new DEs
KLucky gnome
Hprays for cosmic to add all those
H
KCosmic is a definite target after Budgie
KI'm sure they will
Hsame
Hbut they wont be considered for bazzite without those anyway
MAlso not be banned from contributing to like half of the Linux public repositories :hehehe:
KAlso, it doesn't seem like a big problem rebasing, at least imo, but there may be stuff I don't know of
Krebasing we don't support because dotfiles can break stuff between KDE & GNOME
Kit can be done, especially if you make a new user
KTo me it looks like it breaks 5 theme settings which are easily fixed
Hit can cause other weird issues which you cannot change through simple settings changes.
Sno dice, fedora 38 installer fails in the same way that the bazzite one does, black screen with a keyboard icon in the bottom right
KAh, like what?
Kexhibit is so damn nice
Han old issue back when i started using linux if you had used kde and gnome (but this is ages ago back when kde4 existed)
skype and all QT or KDE apps would get 2 px font on 1 DE but not the other even though your settings said 8px or idk 22px, this would persist even if you completely removed the other DE, some gnome apps would just not work properly or be slow.
otherwise issues that can still happen:
settings for KDE or GNOME will not always match what settings actually say they should be in some cases.
and if you removed your previous DE sometimes the system would still try open files in the uninstalled applications because they were set as default (luckily this is an easy fix but a new user wont necessarily understand that) and not updated.
essentially if you rebase between DEs you can end up with issues that would require manual fixing and we are not interested in supporting that.

KAh yeah you needed the gsettings not the graphical settings
SNow your making me feel old... I remember that issue. Also seem to remember it appearing towards the end of KDE3 when they did a QT upgrade I think it was (may have been 4 beta though, I'm old lol)
Hshows you how long i used linux, since i used kde3 on backtrack (predecessor to kali linux) because the weird ass wifi card i had would work ootb there.
remember MADWIFI!!?
certainly made me mad

there's a thing I haven't heard in years... and yes I think MADWIFI was well named it infuriated the hell out of me and most of my colleagues/friends at the timeHyeah so i just used backtrack because cool wallpaper and holy crap my wifi works!
H
Slol think I was prob still on Slack or Gentoo back then... how things have changed (for the better in the most part).
Hi was introduced to debian back in middle school but i didnt switch myself until high school
Hforgot if it was lenny, sarge or etch, but i remember the "new upcoming" release was supposed to be very big and important
SHmm was kinda of working by the time the whole "linux" thing came about was a UNIX user at the time though :p
SOh and started on basically BSD and OS/2 Warp >.> (yes I'm 50 this year lol)
Hand back when i changed to linux it was ubuntu 8.10 i switched to
Sgood choice for a beginner tbh, I still think at times it is but with the new "Cloud native" stuff it's becoming harder to recommend it for ease of use imo
Mya’ll knew what Linux was in grade school??? 
SThink some who were technically minded did (or the average rebel lol)
