Fedora 38 : Sway on VirtualBox.

Sway is a tiling Wayland compositor and a drop-in replacement for the i3 window manager for X11. It works with your existing i3 configuration and supports most of i3's features, plus a few extras.
You can find this desktop at this GitHub project.
The official webpage comes with a video tutorial on how to use it.
Installation is simple with these commands using the dnf tool:
# dnf group install sway-desktop-environment
# dnf install sway-config-fedora
It is possible to ask you for additional arguments for installation like this: --allowerasing or --skip-broken.
After installation, reboot and select sway from the desktop switcher
NOTE: The display for virtual video card from VirtualBox need to be set to Enable 3D Acceleration.

Fedora 38 : Openbox from GitHub.

I tried to use the OpenBox desktop environment in Fedora 38 and it seems to be incomplete, see also this thread.
I try to build the Openbox desktop from the source code, see the GitHub project.
$ git clone https://github.com/danakj/openbox.git
$ cd openbox
I need to install these: gettext-devel, glib2-devel, libtool, and pango-devel.X86_64 all devel libraries with dnf tool ...
Use the next commands, you will see some errors about some deprecated libraries and source code when you use the make command.
$ ./bootstrap
$ ./configure
$ make 
The go-to openbox folder to see the result:
$ cd openbox
$ ls -lFGC
The last step is to run the Openbox after you solve these:
Failed to open the display from the DISPLAY environment variable.
Openbox-Message: A window manager is already running on screen 0.
Because you are into environment area you need to close it.
After several attempts, I managed to pass these issues and ran the command:
$ ./xinit
This is the result is this:
I don't really have skills in this field of changes in Linux distributions and I wouldn't want to give wrong indications.

Fedora 38 : Deepin on VirtualBox.

Today, I tested the Deepin environment on Virtual Box where I installed Fedora 38.
I do not recommend using this desktop environment on Virtual Box because it requires graphics resources.
Installation is simple as with any desktop environment installation, see this official webpage.
Here is the final result:
