I want to install Cinnamon desktop environment on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (on Dell XPS 15, 4k, nvidia gtx1650ti + 2 external 1080p LCDs). I read that i need to change GDM3 to LightDM as well. Is there also a problem with Wayland vs Xorg ?

Any advices or warnings ? is it a good idea? or should i expect some problems ?

is it really just easy like here? (and no problems) https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-cinnamon-desktop-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux

Yes, it is beneficial to use cinnamon instead of the default Ubuntu desktop because it uses less resources while providing all features (I personally liked it more than the default).

Simply run these commands:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install cinnamon

If you face any issues you can just switch back to your default desktop environment easily by clicking the gear icon at login screen.
