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

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.
