Hi Israel,

I have almost only had multiple desktops in desktop computers (not
laptops or netbooks), where it is not critical with power management.
The only other case was converting Lubuntu 12.04 to Xubuntu 12.04 LTS.
But the battery is rather bad in that computer, so I have to run it
connected to the power network anyway.

But in general I'd say you are probably right. You can have multiple
desktops in the installed system during a period for evaluation, but for
many reasons I think it is better to make a fresh install of the DE you
prefer or to have several installed systems (multi-boot) instead of
multiple DEs.

Best regards
