Thank you for this. I have been a Linux beginner for over 20 years, and my thought is that the installer is even more important than the DE. They all have a simple option to just erase a whole disk, which looks like it's right for someone beginning; but many possible Linux users are actually experienced on computers (I'd used four OSes before I first tried Linux), and will want to dual boot Windows and Linux, at least at first. Linux Mint won me over because it made it so easy for me to install MInt alongside Windows, and partition the disk. I've tried Fedora recently, and gave up when I could either wipe the disk and give it all to Fedora, or get down to the level of selecting mount points (which I semi-understand and could sort out for myself, but life is short and there are so many distros). I can't be unique, because distros like Gecko Linux (for Open SUSE) and risiOS (for Fedora) seem designed chiefly to overcome this problem.
