I’ve used an app to organize my recurring chores etc. Usually it’s just a running mark of my failures but I took the day to get it all done. Home is as clean as it gets, things are put away and I feel vaguely acconplished.

Admittedly, I did this because my next project is switching from Windows to Linux and I wanted to have everything else done so that even if the switch breaks me, home will be nice and pretty.

(Anyone else recently made or thought about the switch? Misery loved company…!)

    Oh interesting, I’d figured I’d just stick with the default environment but I suppose I could absolutely look around for ones that play nicely with some beginners distro like Mint.

    Thanks!

      When I installed Debian froma USB drive, it gave me the choice of, I think, six desktop environments! Not all distributions give you a choice on install, and most will let you switch without too much trouble. I’m sure there are some that are biuilt around a particular DE, though.

      A Live USB with Debian on it should have several options, and I think you can pick all of them. When you have multiple installed, it lets you switch on the login screen.

      Looks like your choices on a Debian live installer will be:

      [ ] GNOME [ ] Xfce [ ] KDE Plasma [ ] Cinnamon [ ] MATE [ ] LXDE [ ] LXQt
