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…

    The reason most distros don’t do this is because they usually try to steer users to their preferred desktop

    They don’t though, they just offer a dozen different options that are offered as entirely different “distros” with no explanation of what they are. Look at the Linux Mint page. You click download and you’re presented with 3 options with no explanation of what they are, which one you should choose or why.

      Have you actually visited the download page that you linked? Because it has screenshots, explanations, whole nine yards.
