Support

Hello,

After installing Manjaro XFCE and using this for a while I would like to change to KDE witch I’m more used to.
Is this possible without a fresh install?

Regards,
Jan

Hello @jan251046 :wink:

Yes, it is possible:

https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Install_Desktop_Environments

But create a new user and then logg into another DE with this new user to avoid problems: https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Install_Desktop_Environments#The_Risks_of_Using_Multiple_DEs

Hint:
https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Install_Desktop_Environments#KDE_Plasma_5

You “can” use both of the DE;
But a clean install is preferred. Save Home-Directory als Folders but most .folders
(Download = yes / .config = no / but .mozilla and .thunderbird 0 yes).
Home-Directory on a separate partition or disk is very helpful.
The contents of KDE and XFCE may be partially “incompatible”.

Ha, Megavolt was faster…
