@teemuki @raubarno So did large swaths of Italians, Greeks, French, Dutch and Spanish in the 70s

@PureTryOut Well, in general installing a different DE on a distro than the default, tends to be a sad experience. There's lots of work under the hood that are geared to make the default DE nice and slick. It's the reason why there are distros like Xubuntu, Kubuntu and what not.

@PureTryOut @howrar Well there are distros that are specifically geared to their default DE like #Elive #linux #RetroWave There's no way any distro can just 'slap that on' as the saying goes.
