Dear gnome developers - could you *possibly* be more anti-Unix? I mean,
thanks *so* much for trying to turn Linux into Windows or Macs....

So, now that I've gotten that out, the KDE display manager, on the login
screen, easily lets you choose window managers. Gnome utterly refuses to
consider such an idea.
I've just yum groupinstall "KDE Plasma Workspaces" on one of my
user's new
system... and I cannot figure out, not in googling, and there's nothing
vaguely obvious anywhere, how to change to KDE from gnome.
Anyone got a pointer?
mark, frustrated

If I select it I can switch between gnome and mate. Does KDE show there as an option?

It displays our issue, and in the upper left, some icons that let you deal with sound, I think, connection, maybe, and I forget what else. mark
I think its in /usr/share/desktop DISPLAYMANAGER=KDE or something like that On Fri, 11 Mar 2016, m.roth at 5-cent.us wrote:> <rant> > Dear gnome developers - could you *possibly* be more anti-Unix?
