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.
