That was my thought as well. But I've seen people online recommend against inst
alling a desktop environment that doesn't officially come with the distro.
I wonder if there may be issues for distros that are based on other distros. Fo
r instance, Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu, so it can use the same sources for so
ftware that's available for Ubuntu, but I suppose it's possible that the maintai
ners of Linux Mint might not necessarily account for all the issues that might a
rise from installing packages that they didn't include by default in the distro.
