Any particular reason why you want to do this? Openbox and xfce can certainly co-exist peacefully on same machine

You can do it and for the most part if one is broken the others will still be alright. Research how display managers like gdm or lightdm work.

You can always create a test box to see if your packages will break your system. This is also the best practice if you are trying new things, especially if you're in that beginning phase of Arch.


Ewe and You are interchangeable words, correct?
