That is what happens when you install a group. It lists all the things in the group and asks which ones you want. Normally you would just hit “enter” there. ---

I hit enter. I should have xfce4 now, but I do not see a way to choose de on my login screen. I read that it s supposed to be selectable on bottom right of screen, but I see nothing there. ---

The gear did appear on the 3rd logout on bottom right of screen. Weird that it took 1 reboot, and 3 logouts. Anyway, I m on xfce now. Reason is I will be re installing eos this weekend, and I want to test out the different de s before I do. Thanks all 👍 ---

Easiest way to test them out would be in a VM that way you are less likely to run into errors ---

Virtualbox. Actually the Enable Audio check box is greyed out every time like this. ![audio](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/0/d/0d481c95b335602ae7717c44a9c1ed0d22fb4a92.png) This is off topic though. I will make another thread for virtualbox audio problem.
