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.

I did it soon after switching to Linux Mint from Windows because I didn’t like how Cinnamon was handling multiple displays. It worked and was perfectly functional. But it was a little rough around the edges with the occasional glitch here and there. Not sure if it was because Mint wasn’t really meant to run Plasma or if it was just because it was running an older version of Plasma. But it was perfectly usable and I would have been happy to stick with it if there were no other solutions.
Before I got too comfy in my Mint install and after having familiarized myself with Linux better, I hopped between a few distros for a bit. LMDE6 with Plasma ran better but ultimately I switched to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and stuck with it since then. It is rock solid and runs Plasma 6. I should probably have given EndeavourOS a try as well but I’m now too settled and comfy to change.
Mind you, I am still a complete Linux noob and still have barely any idea of what I am doing so take it with a grain of salt.
