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...

Installing additional DEs should be made more straightforward. I'm comfortable using the terminal but I don't think many know that you can have multiple installed at the same time and can switch between them at login.

    Being able to doesnt mean its recommended. I played around with that in a vm and it looks like some DE use same parts of the config files. Which result into inconsistent themeing/UI. Like random wrong colors, icons and fonts.
