May I install KDE next to budgie?

Hi dear Community! I have originally installled endeavuros os with budgie. I want to check now how is to use/how I’ll feel using KDE plasma. Point is I don’t want to uninstall budgie, is there is a chance to install now KDE graphical environment and so I will have an option to switch between this two graphical environment when log-in?

Thanks

Yes.

Yes.

But you should be aware that sticking two DEs in the same install will have minor conflicts/issues you will need to work though. If you don’t mind some troubleshooting and occasional oddness you can do it and many people do.

However, if you want things to “just work”, you should avoid installing multiple DEs in the same install.

The EOS wiki has an article that describes how to install most of the DEs.

Another thing to consider is creating a new user, and then have THAT user install the alternate desktop. Fewer conflicts that way, and you still login to your choice at the same prompt…

I personally don’t mind xfce and i3 together but i don’t like mixing others for some of the reasons listed here.
