Multiple DE branches - Do they need to be the same?

Hi all. Quick DE question. I have laptop with Manjaro with both KDE and Gnome installed (with different users). Both are on stable right now, but I would like to change one to testing. Can I have one DE on testing and one on stable, or is that impossible, and they both need to be on the same branch? Thanks!

I dont think that is possible unless you have two Manjaro installations, one on the stable branch and the other on testing.

Hi!
if both DE are install in the same system, I don’t know how, but maybe anyone more savvy can prove me wrong

Hello,

@chomsky - provided the correct answer. Marked as solution

The system, installed or live media, regardless the DE’s/DE present, can have only one instance of /etc/pacman.conf that handles the `/etc/pacman-mirrors.conf where the branch is set. Multiple branches per installed system is not possible. :slight_smile:

Much appreciated. Thank you all.
