In CentOS 7, there is a file /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients in which the default desktop will be checked. It will look for a file /etc/sysconfig/desktop. Therefore, we can simply create this file (/etc/sysconfig/desktop) and put the content DESKTOP=KDE. For next login, the KDE desktop environment will be used automatically.
