Re: Historic Linux destktop environment question

Thanks.

I'm so used to using display managers I'd never thought of doing it this way. I can see how it works.

I'll have a play on the weekend, I think it could be fun (also meaning to play with Slackware as well so might create a couple of VMs).

I do feel that the different desktops don't play as well together as they used to, especially on some of the "friendlier" distributions. But that could also be a function/special gift of systemd - I know I've swapped DE's on Devuan many times without issue but tried it on a recent Zorin without luck. XFCE isn't there, haven't looked at fvwm, Cinamon is there but didn't work (the only one I've tried).
