At least you do have other options with Fedora. Not so easy with,

Ubuntu. Switching desktops on it is a bit more convoluted. I've never
tried it myself, but I've heard stories.......
My work laptop runs Ubuntu, and I switched it to the XFCE desktop. I do not
remember the exact details any more, but it was "apt-get" something or
other, and then the XFCE desktop option became available on the X login
screen. That was mostly a boring non-event, hence why I don't remember it.
