Endeavour OS Allows Multiple Desktop Environments?

in theory it is possible - there is a distro out there with 70+ different window managers. But it’s not recommended because the dotfiles might conflict in some way. So if you want to try different things remove the configuration files after your done and before you move to the next experiment. I’m not saying it WILL happen but it has been KNOWN to happen

all these wm’s are more or less configured the same way so there won’t be any conflicts beween dotfiles. But you will get a feel for how the different wm’s behave. Just go with bspw already - you’ll never look back :joy:. The regular route is i3 for beginners - then maybe herbstluftwm or dwm - then xmonad or bspwm. Xmonad needs you to know some basic haskell while bspwm is 8 lines of bashscript. so it s easy to change bspawm’a begavior if you know how to write bshscript or know how to copy paste others. My config started out like 8l lines and now it’s more than 50. So there’s been some additions over the time I’ve used it. And I dont write script - I see something cool and just c/p. That said - having 2-3-4 different enviroment will not cause any issues. I’m talking if you have 20-30-40 different then it can happen -cause that is a lot of configuration filea - dotfiles
