Anyone could help me? I’m new to Linux in general and Fedora in particular… I have both installed the Workstation and after the KDE version of Fedora. Now, I would like to rather install Xfce. I have nothing on my disk yet, so it’s ok if I erase everything and start from the very beginning of the installation. Should I just get an ISO image and put it on a USB key and just reboot on this key? Thanks for your help.
Welcome to the forum @jpmulet
I have moved your post out of the other topic as it was unrelated. You have a much higher chance to get good answers here as a separate post.
So you have installed Fedora Workstation featuring the Gnome desktop environment, then you installed KDE. Did you reinstall Fedora entirely using the KDE iso image or did you add the KDE desktop to the existing Workstation install?
Do you want to keep KDE (and Gnome?) and add XFCE on top or reinstall Fedora using the xfce image?
For your information, xfce is a very lightweight and fast desktop, but it doesn’t support Wayland, as far as I know. Another option for a lightweight desktop is LXQt. Little less lightweight, but not as heavy as Gnome is Cinnamon, maybe worth a try.
See Switching desktop environments :: Fedora Docs on how to install additional desktop environments (DE)
Once you have decided for one DE, I would suggest backing up all important personal data and cleanly reinstalling a system with the DE of your choice.
Download your spin from Fedora Spins | The Fedora Project
Or you may consider creating a virtual box using Gnome boxes.

Hello,
Thank you for your help!
I’ve re-installed Fedora Xfce from the beginning, it went well, and everything is working well now! Xfce is the right environment I like.
I’m surprised Xfce does not support Wayland because Fedora is marketed as supporting only Wayland now, and not X11 anymore…
Cheers,
JP
