Hi,
I recently switched from using debian 9 (stretch) to debian 10 (buster). I
did this on a new partition of my disk so i think it should be a clean
install, and it seems to be.
The desktop manager looks different: i think it is gnome, but i'd like it
to be xfce.
What i did was to install the xfce4 package, then ran
sudo update-alternatives --config x-window-manager
switching from (iirc) mutter to lightdm. Then i rebooted.
But everything looks the same, so i imagine that my update-alternatives was
not the right move, and/or i didn't understand the page i was reading.
So my questions are:
(1) How can i identify which desktop manager i have? Ideally i'd like to
do that with some command line move, like running 'which-desktop' or
something like that.
(2) Having identified it, how do i change it?
TIA for any info!
