RE: Debian 12, Easiest Way to switch Between Already Installed Desktop Environments?



Thanks! That did it. F10 is the trick.

    When you are at the Login screen, try pressing the F10 key to get to the menu.  Then use your arrow keys to explore the menu.  I don't have two environments installed, but mine shows Mate currently.

That seems to be the issue though. I can’t find anything relevant in the login dialogue box that looks like it’s clickable. If the control does exist, It definitely doesn’t seem to be in the tab order. Can anyone confirm or suggest an alternate way to switch? I imagine modifying some config file or other would do the trick?

I think it is a list selection, so if you land on a system or something, and it is closed,  open the list and arrow to the selection.

Hi all,

Curious what the best way is to switch between desktop environments? My reading suggests that there’s some sort of icon that you can click in the login window that will allow you to select which desktop you want to use; However if I tab through the dialog, I’m not seeing that icon. I tried reviewing the screen with Orca and clicking a few possible objects that I thought could be the icon but to no avail.

Thanks,

--Al
