[Feature Request] Adding option to install Desktop enviroments and TilingWM directly from Linutil

[bungadrum]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Would it be possible to add a option to install a diffrent desktop enviroment or tilingWM directly from Linutil. Lets say you get tired of using what you currently have and you want to try something diffrent.

Describe the solution you'd like

In Linutil there could be a new category "DE" or "Desktop Enviroment" it could be seperated into 2 options "Heavy" there you would put KDE, Gnome, Cinamon, Budgie and on the "Light" category you would put Mate, XFCE, LXQT, Openbox, Fluxbox and Pantheon. The other category would be TilingWM there it could be seperated for those that use X where DWM falls into and those that work on Wayland like Hyperland. Things like I3, Awesome, Qtile and any other that users want. Users can put other suggestions and requests to what they want after if it goes forward.

Describe alternatives you've considered

@bungadrum well there is tasksel for debian distros for selecting the desktop environments, but they usually install the full version i believe. i'm not sure about other distros if this is to be a thing i would love there to a choice of 'minimal', 'lite', 'full' perhaps would be useful for a lot of people

[alexanderbrown21]

i.e. installation for kde could be like:

• kde-full for full
• kde-standard for lite
• kde-plasma-desktop for minimal plus any deps it needs to run a minimal plasma desktop

just an idea 👍🏻
