Easy way to try out a bunch of different DEs?
I'm planning on moving (back) to Linux from Windows, but I'm not sure which desktop environment I want to use. What's the easiest way to try them all out? Just do a bunch of dnf/apt installs? Is there a distro or project out there that makes this easier?
Looking to try out kde, gnome, budgie, cinnamon, xfce, others

VMs are a way, but Live USB sticks are better because you will see how it actually runs on your bare metal machine, and if there see any hardware quirks, without comitting to an install
Ventoy is a godsend in that case. If you have a big enough USB stick, you can just put all distros you wanna try on it
yeah, i also wholeheartedly recommend ventoy
I take any chance I can to drop a Chris Barnett link:

I just upgraded mine to a 512gb flash drive after blowing out a 256gb... maybe I have too many distros
