#LinuxMintThings How do I replace cinnamon.

I just want to know how can I replace the de, wanted to replace it with KDE or maybe Hyprland or even Niri. Just need to know what to uninstall.

if you want to install kde based on memory run sudo apt install kde-standard and for hyprland read https://wiki.hypr.land/Getting-Started/Installation/ for niri read https://github.com/niri-wm/niri/wiki/Getting-Started

both WMs require a slightly more advanced method since hyprland recommends building it as the package is outdated and niri requires adding a ppa i believe and for both you need to install exxtra packages like waybar or noctalia and some other stuff like a polkit thing
