change default window manager to LXDE

Question

It is funny, but I cannot find out how to change the windowmanager that starts automatically to lxde.

At the moment on my Raspberry Pi it auto starts OSMC

edit: I have to exit that and start lxde with startx

I edited the file

/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/mediacenter.service

that launches Kodi. there I edited the line

ExecStart = /usr/bin/startx

Now lxde starts automatically, but as root

How do I change that the user osmc starts X?

Run this command sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target for a graphical environment because you have used sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target before.

Backup and delete the file. After that, install lightdm or something else. At next boot, kodi wont run and the pi shows you a fine lightdm Screen.
