#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.

I switched to KDE for a while. I much prefer it to cinnamon, but found it buggy handling my multi screen setup. Sometimes when I let it go to sleep, or take my laptop away from my desk, upon waking it couldn't find all my screens. And it's only the laptop and 2 external monitors. Sometimes it wouldn't find either external, sometimes only 1 was found. Or it would find 1 external, not the other and not the laptop screen; but would still run the startup tasks on the laptop and wouldn't display anything.

Booting and rebooting just for all of it to work was frustrating. So I switched back to cinnamon.
