Description

The current desktop selection screen offers KDE, GNOME, Server and behind an 'Other' option Minimal X and XFCE. Net install also Enlightenment.

  • KDE, GNOME and Server are the recommended main options for the target audience.
  • MinimalX ends up at xdm which is the worst of all DMs to present a user probably
  • XFCE is unmaintained.
  • Enlightenment is there for legacy reasons, probably due to social engineering.

The screen needs to be redone to better explain the main options and list alternative desktop offerings in a fair way if the online repos are enabled.

Suggestion:

[x] KDE Workstation
[ ] GNOME Workstation
[ ] Server (text mode)
[ ] Custom

Custom leads to the pattern selector screen (the one with the icons next to the pattern) in the next dialog. Displayed patterns are sorted alphabetically.
