If there is room on the disk, why not install all the desktops? That way you have access to all the applications that they run, if you want them. And you can try them out, or use them for trouble shooting. For me, running a particular desktop isn't about access to applications, but about feeling comfortable with the concept of the desktop. Does it suit the way I work? Is it intuitive for me to use? Part of that is habit, what am I used to, but I think some of it is just the way that my brain processes things by default. i.e. different strokes for different folks The downside of installing a lot of packages is that updates are more frequent, and take longer because they are larger. And there is a greater chance of package conflicts. Just another point of view for you to consider. _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to test-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@lists.fedoraproject.org
