I would use different users to be sure to not mess up some dotfiles. Also icons and fonts will be very messed up
I use(d) a VM for testing purposes and things were working quite well unti I added Plasma. So, if I take this to real hardware I might split up the QT and GTK based DEs in separate distros
Yeah I agree, that would be the best, but also slightly annoying. No more common shell history or web history and stuff like that.
I haven't had any major breakage using both Gnome and Plasma myself. It works fine. But it's annoying to see Gnome apps in the Plasma menus (when typing program names).
Gnome and Plasma is the absolute worst example. Normally either GNOME or Plasma take over all icons and everything looks messed up. For me even after installing just Dolphin on GNOME everything was messed up.
Yeah I know. I use plasma icon themes, they seem to work much better in both Gnome and Plasma than using Gnome themes.
I mean you could symlink your histfile and such if you really wanted
Yeah but it's a lot more things. Every thing I do in one account would have to replicated in another, pretty much. Becomes hard.
Even though using github and online storage makes things a lot easier.
