It’s very nice to not have a dozen different versions of the same distro to parse through and figure out that are simply the same distro with a different DE. Moreover, very few of them offer this many options.
Cachy could be doing a better job explaining what the user is looking at here and who each of these is for. Pretty easy to sum up in 1-2 sentences…
I always thought they should have a 15 second gif for each DE showing off the general form factor. That looks and feel is all most people care about.
Yes, this would be the real deal!
Maybe a few smaller ones bcs full-screen-res gifs would be very hw intensive, but this would def help me to give me a general vibe of how this distro with that DE would feel like.
(Then again, websites are kinda made for this purpose, tho a few MBs more in the boot/installer iso wouldn’t hurt. Minimal versions of distros are usually separate either way.)
