looking around online it seems possible but apparently not a good experience? i think the posts were a bit old so maybe something has changed since then

Edit: i don't want to hop distro, i just want to change the desktop manager.

Yeah but it is really opinionated, give it a try and it is likely good.

But tbh uBlue may work better out of the box, but they are changing fast. They introduced nix which was broken and then removed and I still have these strange users left.

They had nokmods images which were kinda vanilla, but just discontinued these images and made the main images the replacement (even though these use kmods).

They nuked their image list site so apart from the flagship variants, all the others are hidden. Even though they are based off Fedora so at least the KDE and GNOME ones are just as good to use.
