someone who switches away from the distro's default desktop environment is not a new user.

Yes, but a lot of them have multiple DEs (Ubuntu/Lubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu...) and sometimes the DE is specific to the distros (Mint).

Linux Mint uses Cinnamon as the DE, which you can use with Fedora (and probably others).

You can actually choose to download an Linux Mint iso with either Cinnamon, MATE, or Xfce, so you're not exclusively locked into Cinnamon.

You get to choose whatever in my distro's installer

[-] tubaruco@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

only distro ive tried that had that was debian (and arch if you count a tty as an installer), which one do you use?

[-] iopq@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

NixOS

[-] tubaruco@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

isnt nix installed in a similar way to arch?

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 6 points 9 months ago

Endeavour OS offers these on install

But the post is more about recommending a DE to start with/them picking one they like since it’s visual. And then you recommend a distro where that is default

  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
