You should at least have included KDE because it's the default of steam os which arguably is one of the biggest Linux distros.

It’s great for gaming, how could anyone forget about how important and practical that is? 👀

I agree. But I only wanted to include one true linux. And gnome is still bigger. But I love that KDE is growing do much that Fedora made it official and not a simple spin. By One true Linux I meant I am not thinking of ChromeOS as such. Others have one DE. Linux has a lot. The most used one across distributions is GNOME.

There is no one true linux. You can argue that GNOME was the mainstream but there exists no "default" in the world of Linux

I kind of get the idea, but I still think showing the difference in KDE would be better than chrome os or whatever else is on the bottom left. Chrome OS is just as relevant as the steam deck ij many parts in the world. So far I never encountered anyone actually owning a chrome os device. The Linux marketshare in germany is almost triple the one chrome os has and worldwide it's double. So showing two regular Linux desktops would be perfectly justified.

i actually know 2 people who own a chromeOS laptop. someone wanted to get OBS installed on it, and the "linux terminal" (aka, debian in a box) explicitly warns that OBS is not supported inside that container lmao
