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)

I use gnome on my main machines, but looking to migrate to cosmic, and I use xfce on more limited devices.

I like the kde project, but I tend not to use it, because I find it a bit overwhelming, even after customizing it, it's hard to explain. I have issues with too many elements in front of me.

    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.
