Fedora's default desktop environment is GNOME 3 in the Workstation spin,
|
|
|
|
|
|
but it is very easy to try any of the many other desktop environments
|
|
|
|
|
|
that are available without affecting your current desktop environment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The desktop environment such as KDE, XFCE or MATE can be installed using
|
|
|
|
|
|
GNOME Software or with dnf directly from the terminal
|
|
|
|
|
|

To use dnf, first find the full environment name using
|
|
|
|
|
|

|

|

|

dnf grouplist -v

Switching Desktop Session
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once installed, you can switch to the new desktop simply by logging out
|
|
|
|
|
|
and switching the session to the new desktop environment on the login
|
|
|
|
|
|
screen. The exact method differs based on the display manager in use.
