Plasma doesn't have anything specific I need. (This is actually part of my reason for posting -- in case Ubuntu Studio maintainers are listening, this user is offering some feedback that Plasma has decidedly not been an improvement.)

Online, I see https://www.tecmint.com/install-xfce-desktop-in-ubuntu-fedora ("sudo apt install xfce4") -- but, when I asked about this initially, the advice on this list was to "install Xubuntu then use the Ubuntu Studio Installer to change it."

So... is there a particular disadvantage installing the XFCE packages over my current installation? A fresh install + all my software is at least a half day (which I had to do recently, after trying Ubuntu Studio 22.10 and then having to reinstall 22.04, oops, so I know how long it takes).
