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

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:

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

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