From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Your DM should be able to handle multiple DEs just install from command line and pick which DE you want from the DM.
Thanks, I tried that with deepin on fedora and it was a mess. Maybe it's just that particular environment causing issues.
What dm are you using and what packages did you install?
As far as I know on my main account I'm running xorg but the separate account with deepin does not specify. I think default is Wayland
I tried installing several times per different guides. I'll do my best to remember
Sudo dnf install "deepin desktop"
Sudo dnf install @deepin-desktop-environment
Sudo dnf group install "deepin desktop"
Probably one more I can't remember
If you want DEEPIN:
Update your system:
sudo dnf upgrade --refreshInstall it:
sudo dnf group install "Deepin Desktop"And then after for change reboot your system You can do it from the terminal like:
sudo rebootIf you want GNOME try:
sudo dnf group install “GNOME Desktop Environment”Although if:
sudo dnf group list hidden -v |grep -i gnomereturns nothing it won't workIf your using gdm you can select DEs like:
It might be you don't have the group for deepin so it wouldn't be useless to try grepping for it.
