Comment:
multi desktop environments are no longer recommended: to many different approaches, autostarted services and programs for the same purpose.

- 
- 
- == Using Xfce, GNOME, KDE Plasma, LXDE, LXQt and/or MATE together ==
- 
- To install other desktop environments after installation, simply use apt:
- {{{
-  apt update
-  apt install education-desktop-gnome education-desktop-kde education-desktop-lxde education-desktop-lxqt education-desktop-mate
- }}}
- 
- To set the default desktop environment, run:
- {{{
- update-alternatives --config x-session-manager
- }}}
- 
- Users will then be able to choose any of the six desktop environment via the login manager before logging in. Of course, you can also choose to give less choices. Keep in mind that there will be several programs for the same purpose (like file managers, editors, PDF viewers...) if more than one desktop environment is installed; this might confuse users.
- 
- The use of LXDE as default on LTSP clients can be forced; see  [[DebianEdu/Documentation/Buster/HowTo/NetworkClients|networked clients]] for details.
- 
- If you don't want to do installations with the default desktop Xfce, you can also [[../../Installation#Installation_types_and_options|install with one of the five alternative desktops, GNOME, KDE, LXDE, LXQt or MATE]] directly.
