Note: This question is not asking for a "best DE(desktop environment)", it is asking about easy ways to test multiple DEs.
I am going to install Ubuntu on my brother's laptop for the first time, and I need to find the right flavor for him. What would be a good way to test multiple flavors or DEs of Ubuntu on his laptop?
Right now my default is just to download a bunch of ISOs and live boot them individually. Thanks in advance!
Another option is to install the standard Ubuntu and then install a number of different desktops using apt-get install <desktop-flavour>.
See list of most common desktop flavours and install instructions here.
When you log in you can select the desktop flavour you want from a drop-down list and run it on the actual machine.
Once your're done, you can either remove the unwanted ones (apt-get remove/purge <desktop-flavour>) or reinstall Ubuntu with the desktop flavour(s) you want.
