Recently, we have begun work on looking at if we can add more desktop metas to our set of installable meta packages. Nothing decided yet, and nothing ready to even try out so far. The Gnome desktop seems not usable at this stage in saucy. KDE is planned. Both LXDE and Unity have been talked about. The idea is that if we do offer more than one choice, XFCE will be the default, but the user can choose another DE during installation. Each DE needs a developer. So, if no one is interested in doing a Unity variant, for instance, then there won't be one. Right now, we have people working at enabling Gnome3 and KDE. -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
