I have read many conflicting things, like always. Just wondering if there’s a safe way to use several DE’s on one distro without messing up my damn computer lol I’ve tried it several times and it always messed things up. I’m currently brand new to fedora workstation 38 too btw. Thanks alot

    @flashgnash @Redo11 I use Debian and Arch and could also wipe out my machine and be back in 20 mins or less. Nix is great but this is not Nix specific. As long as you have a backup of your files and config, recovery is quick on basically any distro.

      Nix makes that process a whole lot simpler and more robust imo

      If you do it via the config file, you can simply revert one line of code and rebuild and you’re back, if you use backups unless you backup before every single change you make it’s much more heavy handed what you revert
