I forget the distro but it started with a GNOME2 DE and I added KDE. It 
sort of worked but it was a little fragile when updating and there were 
some strange effects. Even with i3 on top of Cinnamon and sway on top of 
KDE I'm careful about invoking GUIs from the other DE. 

With an offline iso creating a new VM is easy. That was a learning 
experience too. The openSUSE iso is 4.2 GB, too big to copy to a 
thumbdrive with the default vfat format so I had to format it to exfat. 
Neither Endeavour or LM are that big.
