Of course. The DE is not the same as the Display Manager. The DM is
what shows the login screen. The DE handles the user experience once
login has occurred. The two things are independent. In a typical
workstation it's expected that the user will log in via a DM, almost
any of which can select which DE is to be used, though normally GDM is
used for Gnome and SDDM for KDE/Plasma.

It's possible to use a DE without a DM, but that means logging into a
Shell console and starting it by hand, normally via startx which has
its own configuration.
