Description Todd Warner 2024-12-18 21:49:23 UTC

See URL. It describes a method to install an alternative desktop environment (for example, COSMIC or Budgie), but the instructions are incorrect. Or, more precisely, they are not how you install a different desktop environment with the new DNF5 package manager.

The new method is something like …

```
dnf environment list
dnf install @cosmic-desktop-environment
```

It took me awhile to find this. It would be super helpful to others to update the docs.

Reproducible: Always

Indeed. I will try to update the documentation.
