      @Rockman98 said in Installing different desktop environment rather than the default one over retropie os?:

      Hello,

      Is it possible to install a different desktop, specifically Trinity Desktop Environment adn boot over emulation station interface?

      Which platform ? On a Raspbery Pi, RetroPie doesn't use a desktop at all.

      How can i install it top of retropie os?

      RetroPie is not an OS, but runs on top of a Linux distribution - on a Raspberry Pi it's running over RaspiOS, on other platforms is runs over Debian/Ubuntu.

      Look up how the desktop environment you want to install is installed on Debian/Ubuntu if you want to install it on your RetroPie - compatible - system.

      Would there be any performance issues?

      Depends on the system, if it's a Pi3 or less it's probably going to affect the performance, for newer Pi models it's less noticeable and on a PC the difference is basically insignificant.

      Can i make it launch like how i start raspberry pi's default desktop environment over retropie os?

      Probably, but depends on the platform you're using (PC / Raspberry Pi / etc.).
