Hi i'd like to know how to use gnome and i3wm on my machine without uninstall the one both on lightdm . Thank you in advance .

You mean as alternatives? You can just install both, lightdm should pick up both and you can select during login which one you want to use.

Your desktop manager should give you that option in a dropdown. If it doesn't, it's not much of a desktop manager. However, the i3.desktop file has to be installed in the correct location (which should be the case).
