Hmm.  I didn't encounter that problem: I saw a choice of spins, and
one was XFCE.  I accept that wasn't the front page, though.

I can accept that makes sense, but I'm still a bit concerned that it
would be a properly informed choice, and I want the installation to be
as clean and simple as possible.

Maybe it would make sense if the descriptions of each DE were written
