I don't use linux on desktop anymore but that seems like a major step backwards from 10 years ago where your worst worry for running multiple DEs was the bloat from having to run GTK and QT in a mixed environment.

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 months ago

They're making it sound worse than it is, in my opinion.

The problem is that it depends on which DEs you mix and match. Some DEs might do catastrophically bad things for other DEs, whereas others don't cause any problems.

It's not. Its actually always been like that. Like I said, this kinds of problems are odd and rare. The real issue is that the most help you'd get from the devs teams is a shrug, as it is an unsupported use case. I actually do have both gtk and qt libraries running and they work nicely together.
