having multiple desktop environments installed in an OS, in particular, his statement that the file managers associated with the different desktop environments may conflict leaves me scratching my head. The only conflict that I can think of is related to preferred applications. For example, if you have KDE and MATE installed on a computer, as I do over there on the right, you've put Kaja, may want to open a video in VLC and Dolphin may want to open it in Dragon Player. I find this to be hardly, as we used to say on the road, a critical defect. It's at most an irritation and one easily remedied if one cares to remedy it in system settings. Perhaps my puzzle one is related to my having started my Linux experience with Slackware, which comes out of the box with two desktop environments and four window managers. I have commonly run multiple desktop environments because though I am not necessarily a fan of KDE, I usually use Fluxbox as my graphical user interface. I am a fan of KDE (7/46)
