Trocando ambientes de trabalho

Equipe de Documentação Fedora Versão F36 and newer Last review: 2023-02-10
Diferentes variantes do Fedora Linux (Spins/Labs) têm ambientes padrão diferentes. Por exemplo, o Fedora Workstation usa o GNOME como seu ambiente de desktop padrão, enquanto o spin KDE usa o KDE. Independentemente do meio de instalação que você utilizou para instalar o Fedora Linux, você pode facilmente experimentar e alternar para muitos outros ambientes de desktop disponíveis sem afetar o ambiente de desktop atual.

Instalando ambientes de trabalho adicionais

Você pode listar os ambientes de desktop disponíveis usando o gerenciador de pacotes padrão, o dnf. Em um terminal, use o comando dnf group list para listar todos os ambientes de desktop disponíveis:

$ dnf group list -v --available | grep desktop

Instale o ambiente de desktop necessário usando o comando dnf install. Certifique-se de prefixar com o sinal @, por exemplo:

# dnf install @kde-desktop-environment

Você também pode usar o nome completo usando o comando groupinstall para instalar o conjunto completo de pacotes:

# dnf groupinstall "KDE Plasma Workspaces"

Trocando ambientes de trabalho usando uma interface gráfica de usuário (GUI)

First, install the desired desktop environment as described in Installing additional desktop environments.

You can login to a different desktop for a single session using the login manager. For example, for the Gnome Display Manager (GDM) that is used by default on the Fedora Linux Workstation:

  1. On the login screen, select a user from the list.

  2. Click on the Preferences icon right below the password field. A window appears with a list of several different desktop environments.

  3. Choose one, and enter password as usual.

Using switchdesk

You also change your desktop environment using the switchdesk tool. It also allows you to change default desktop environment for individual users, and for all users.

  1. Install the switchdesk and switchdesk-gui packages:

    # dnf install switchdesk switchdesk-gui
  2. Run the Desktop Switching Tool application.

  3. Select the default desktop from the list of available desktop environments, and confirm.

Desktop Switching Tool

Trocando ambientes de trabalho usando a interface de linha de comando (CLI)

First, install the desired desktop environment as described in Installing additional desktop environments.

Install the switchdesk package:

# dnf install switchdesk

Pass the selected desktop environment as the only argument to the switchdesk command, for example:

# switchdesk kde

See the switchdesk(1) man page for more information.

Manually editing the system configuration

You can also change your default desktop environment using the /etc/sysconfig/desktop system configuration file. If this file does not exists, please create it. This file specifies the desktop for new users and the display manager to run when entering runlevel 5.

Please create/edit it using your preferred text editor. Note that you will need administrator (root) privileges to create or edit this file.
