Hi everyone!

I’m a happy Gnome user on Fedora 38 on my Surface Go 1. Still, as I’m not an experienced Linux user, I’d want to discover some other distros and some other DE like KDE.

I’m planning on installing a distro with KDE on Gnome Boxes, but I wanted to know if there was a way to export it and make it a real OS (no VM) at one point.

To get to the point where I had my perfect workstation installation, it took me quite some time and I wouldn’t want to waste my time creating my perfect VM and not make it real at one point.

I don’t know if it could be done by cloning my virtual disk with Clonezilla for instance.

I’m sorry if my question ain’t clear, it’s just that I may not have the right vocabulary to talk about such things.

    Usually there won’t be any issue in having 2 DEs. But if you uninstall the first DE after you install the second DE - it’s possible to accidentally remove some common packages. This could result some weird behaviours, but the DE in most cases should still be usable.
