[SOLVED] Switching between i3 and Gnome, a problem?

[LateToTheGame]

Hi all,

Since switching to Linux a few years ago, I've been using Gnome as my DE. Recently I've been playing with i3 on a TEST computer, not my main machine. My test computer is the same hardware, and like my main computer, it is running Debian Testing. I installed Debian with Gnome then added i3. I've done some limited testing with the a few of the programs I use daily, and it seems I can switch between the two desktop environments without any issues.

My question is, because I don't understand everything about either Gnome or i3, are there some issues I may run into if I continue to use both environments? My plan is to just switch between them depending on on what task I'm performing.

Thanks.

Should be fine.

Okay, great. And thank you for the reply. Appreciated.

I use both together, just installed Debian gnome last weekend and added i3. Plan on tweaking my config file next weekend. I used i3 wm on arch based distros, they commonly use it with xfce and light dm. I did not encounter much problems using gnome and gdm.
