I recommend you should restore a clean system before installing the desired DE via the official repos. Everytime I added a PPA I had some issues.
I wasn't able to install cinnamon, and I gave up trying all the desktop
environment. Installing gnome 3 was enough for me, and it works very good.
I know some people here installed some other DE, but I always had issues.
Only enlightenment and xfce worked good enough to keep it.
