In all fairness i think there is nothing to lose with such an offering. As multiple DE's offer end users more options to work with environments they enjoy working in.

All I've ever noticed is the issue with multiple filemanagers starting
at once, but
I've only ever extensively used one at a time (normally MATE) so might not spot
other issues

Hi,

If the below is accurate what issues could be encountered in terms
of configuration?

The "main DE's" now are at least GNOME, Cinnamon, MATE,KDE,
XFCE,and LXDE
and probably more.

Hi Len,

Aren’t there just 3 Main DE’s. Correct me if I am wrong but
aren’t
you talking about corner cases here? Or are you also taking
into
consideration window managers?

Most DE's are designed not to conflict with any other DE

Yesno :D, for some more or less exceptional cases, regarding
so
called
major DEs, you and I know better :p. A "conflict" might not
be
the right
term for some issues, users could experience.

I would reduce it to switching between window mangers, never
does cause
an issue, but switching between desktop environments not
necessarily
does, but always could come with a pitfall.

The main thing is user config files which may be the same
filename from DE to DE or worse, one DE might expand a user
config
file in a way another might not understand. Also, if there is a
studio specific login and a DE login for the same DE, whichever
login you use first will set user configs in the way that login
sets up. Most DEs have a DE specific sub directory of .config,
but
in the case where the DE is just a modified version of another
DE... who knows.

In general most people pick the DE they want and always use it.
