Do you hate Cinnamon or something?

Cinnamon doesn't work with things like ScreenConnect due to using GTK3 under the hood.

This is flat not true. I use Fedora with Cinnamon and use ScreenConnect all the time.

Cinnamon works now? Does Gnome 3 work now then, too?

Are you thinking of X2Go? GNOME 3 and Cinnamon don’t work because they require hardware acceleration and NX3 can’t do that. Only NX4 which is proprietary and owned my NoMachine can leverage it.

So what exactly is so hard about installing a DE?

At one time i had Gnome, KDE, xfce, and Mate installed and working at the same time. You just choose the one you want at login and it remembers.

You would do something similar to this:

dnf group install "MATE Desktop"

dnf group install "Fedora Workstation"

dnf group install "mate-desktop"

I don't remember exactly what they are anymore because I've settled on Gnome a while ago.

But it worked for me just fine.

Nothing is hard but it’s never the same as if a team specifically built everything to work from the get go. I have i3 set up on my laptops along with GNOME. But there are always little quirks if you add them on later.
