Want to change the look and feel of your Debian system? In this video, you’ll learn step-by-step how to switch desktop environments in Debian, whether you’re setting up Debian for the first time or customizing an existing installation. I’ll walk you through choosing a desktop environment during installation, adding or removing desktops later with "tasksel", selecting the right display manager (GDM, SDDM, or LightDM), and how to switch between desktop environments right from the login screen.
Whether you prefer GNOME, KDE Plasma, XFCE, Cinnamon, or another desktop environment, this tutorial will help you install, switch, and customize Debian to match your workflow.
