How to switch between DE in virtualbox Zorin

I had already looked at this thread, which was also about elementary and apper. But it seemed to have been difficult.
I am interested if the software store of Mint would work in Zorin (without missing dependencies), perhaps using Mints 21 version of software manager not the current one. I like Mint software manager more because this software manager prioritises native packages and can exclude unverified packages and you can determine if all packages should be displayed or only native ones.
