It is actually a per-login choice. You can choose your DE among all
the installed ones with every new login.

I don't recommend that though. My primary DE is Plasma, while I have a
fallback for lxqt when Plasma is broken (I use Debian unstable, and
Plasma being broken happens about once a year for a day or so). Some
apps behave weird in lxqt; I suspect that their local configuration
which is fine for Plasma doesnt fit lxqt too well.

I guess that is even worse when you switch from Plasma to GNOME and
back.
