    the DE doesnt change anything in the base os unless you count its packages and rare incompatibilities as noticeable changes.

    what it does change is the visual experience.

      No it installs and uninstalls a ton of packages and often relies on specific versions of certain packages. This is like saying Ubuntu isn’t different from Debian.

      Some DE’s even use Wayland which will break a ton of software such as OpenCV.
