oxfuxxxWouldn't it be nice if ubuntu live usb would let you choose between 2 DEs? like Gnome or XFCE or lxqt, but defaulting to Gnome if the user don't know/care?18:55
oxfuxxxFor ppl who prefer an old style or lighter desktop UI.18:56
oxfuxxxat bootime, or an option to switch in the toolbar.18:56
sarnoldit would be neat, but it'd make it much larger..19:01
ograi think there are tools that allow to create such a thing for yourself though19:03
oxfuxxxnot that much i think, cause theses desktops are smaller. But nowdays USB sticks are often 32 GB or more. However distribs like xubuntu or lubuntu would suffer from that ofc.19:03
ograwell, your iso download over modem in some african rural area would likely take minimally longer ...19:04
oxfuxxxogra yeah but if it was standard anyone can access it easily. No need to fiddle around with tuts apps and stuff.19:05
ograi dont think it makes sense as standard but could be a nice optional image to download ... though testing it will take massive amounts of time i suppose since testers would need to run through each single test plan for each single distro 19:06
ogra(and iso testing before release is already short on people to make it in time)19:07
ograif sarnold says "larger" you need to take into account that nt only the image itself gets larger ... also all processes around it do ... (building, testing, downloading etc etc)19:08
oxfuxxxYeah.19:09
ograalso, it would be more of a power user thing after all ... 19:09
ogramy computer illiterate mom would be lost when she should pick a desktop19:10
ogra(i'd get a call from her ...)19:10
sarnoldI could kind of see a neat "lets help you pick a desktop to install!" sort of thing19:10
sarnolddownload this easy 32gb image, write it to usb, boot it, bring it to trade shows or LUG meetings or whatever, and let people try em all19:11
ograyeah, it would be a cool thing for such cases ...19:11
oxfuxxxYes and no, cause some normal users would probably like an old style desktop like they used on their PC years ago...but yeah xubuntu or lubuntu are nice for that anyway.19:11
sarnolduninstalling desktops is not for the faint of heart, so trying out a dozen of them on a 'real system' would be a bit bloated19:12
ograhttps://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/19:13
ograthere it is ... 19:13
oxfuxxxyeah i heard about that 1.19:15
oxfuxxxbut yeah more of a power user things in the end.19:15
ograthere is also "ventoy" IIRC19:15
