They omitted the video from the article for some reason. Looks more like AR than VR.

The new user often has to choose their DE regardless. This just moves it from the webpage where they’re presented with 3 or 4 different “distros” with different names for some reason, all under the same ISO, which I would argue is far less confusing (especially if presented with the relevant information during the install).


Does this work offline? Or does it have to be connected to Canva’s servers?


Being shipped with the distro is not the same as being fully supported.


It seems very unlikely to me that these are all “fully supported”. Probably just 1 or 2 and then the rest are just like “yeah I mean you can try them”, but I can’t find any further info on their site.


Sorry, what burden?
I think a new Linux user shouldn’t have to choose a DE, so starting with a distro which makes this choice for them is most likely better.
I mean that’s a fair point but most don’t do that either. Even supposedly-beginner-friendly distros (which this is not) like Mint don’t do that.
It’s nice, but how much can this help you chose a DE without further research?
It’s not supposed to. If they did this the way most do, they would have 20 different distros listed on their webpage.
Well now you have. Just the first one off the top of my head.
You’re expecting way too much of a new user. There’s already 309534 distros to choose from, now you want them to boot into a dozen live environments of each one?
CachyOS only has 2 ISOs, both of which are very clear in their purpose (Desktop and Handheld). Not 4 different ISOs with no clear delineation to speak of.
If you read the OP I also said:
Cachy could be doing a better job explaining what the user is looking at here and who each of these is for. Pretty easy to sum up in 1-2 sentences…
How do you think I got it? There is no explanation of what they are, which one you should choose or why. Just generic information that describes every Linux distro.
Put yourself in the shoes of a new Linux user and ask yourself what good those screenshots are.


If I’m honest, I’ve completely given up on trying to understand this region. It’s confusing as hell.
you’ll have to pay to host and distribute it, most for no reason, every time.
I DLed Cachy with the torrent. Another thing I wish more distros would offer, haha! It was 2.8GB. I’m not sure if that’s big or not really, I don’t typically pay attention.
I had an Ethernet cable connected so I wouldn’t have had to connect it manually, that’s why I don’t know if it was necessary.
one pro is that with a dedicated DE iso you dont need an internet connection
That’s a good reason. I didn’t realize this one did.
Well then you can choose a DE for them, as well?
I mean that’s fair but they have to make this choice regardless. Open up the Fedora website or uBlue or Mint and see how are these DEs are presented much less clearly there.
The reason most distros don’t do this is because they usually try to steer users to their preferred desktop
They don’t though, they just offer a dozen different options that are offered as entirely different “distros” with no explanation of what they are. Look at the Linux Mint page. You click download and you’re presented with 3 options with no explanation of what they are, which one you should choose or why.
You don’t need to read anything to use the system in OP.
Paralysis is solved by a simple explanation and recommendations.
Maybe working but not published into the public releases. Probably will continue to be worked on until Steam Frame is about to go on sale.
