Is there a proper way to use several DE’s on one distro or is it not advised?

Destop Manager (DM).

There a couple of them. Gnome has it’s preferred, I’d risk KDE has its own (was never a user of KDE), there is LightDM, etc.

And they tend to dislike eachother

LightDM says it’s a Display Manager.

I know that naming is hard but, oh my…, terms are so confusing when you’re starting:

… I’m still not sure which ones are synonyms, sub categories or independent components :/.

I’ve used Linux for about a decade and I still mix them up sometimes if I’m not actively working with them

There are just too many terms, just give enough context and people will understand it regardless tho!

Always messed those up but I’m not ashamed.
