Nice, maybe I can integrate this as an option.

thanks, maybe I can use that. Thought about using Polonium for now, but I'm sure I can integrate multiple options. After all, it'll be just a bunch of dotfiles and (meta-)packages.

Hell yeah, thank you for reaching out, I just DM'd you.

For the 0.0.1 version I will just have a minimal but slightly configured KDE Plasma, but in 0.0.2 I do plan to make a wider range of desktop environments and/or window managers available to be selected. To have some pre-configured options like "regular old KDE" or "non-facist tiling WM" along with some just vanilla out-of-the-box options like GNOME, Cinnamon, COSMIC and so on would be perfect.

0.0.1 is supposed to be the kind-of unpolished proof-of-concept release with just one "forced" path both visually and under the hood. 0.0.2 is supposed to be a visual and QOL release where your help would tie in perfectly with more DE/WM selections, prettier UI (especially the calamares is looking as basic as a matcha-latte). 0.0.3 will be the same for the technical side with more choices for the components instead of forcing my current stack with systemd-boot, systemd-bless-boot, ostree and so on as I realize that not everyone wants to have that much systemd based stuff (me included, but this was the most reliable way to implement it for 0.0.1).

CachyOS does already provide a wide range of options, but their development has kinda come to a standstill the last few months. Some of my PRs have been sitting there for two months when I decided to delete my GitHub and move to Codeberg permanently. To breathe some fresh air into the available options will be a fantastic move, I'm looking forward to your reply!

Edit: I don't wanna talk bad about CachyOS in the slightest, they have done outstanding work, but you do notice them not keeping up as much as they did before, just saying.
