Didier, I didn't understand this:

I'm guessing you might be saying nobody should be forced to either have to use a test or graphical interface, because that's exactly what you have done in your work on Slint. Users can specify which Desktop - MATE and KDE are standard as is just a text log on. Which is perfect for those of us who either prefer text console or have such low powered computers that working in Graphic User Interface is only used when necessary because screen drawing just takes so long. If so your quote could be: I agree that everybody should have a choice between a text interface and a graphical one (and between Braille and speech). As an aside mpv is perfectly able to displays videos in a console, but I digress. I personally know many who value Slint's ability to boot directly into console without Xserver running as a big plus to that distro. I modify Debian by using systemctl by disabling lightdm. As root: systemctl stop lightdm systemctl disable lightdm This will cause Debian to boot into the console, and from there, I can just use "startx" to go into graphical mode. Works well, and on my old computer, it's much faster. Regards, David
