I know that there are a lot of people that love hopping desktop environments. I have probably tried almost all desktop environments. So I am going to collect some of the most popular desktops, and show you how to install them on debian, RHEL, and Arch based systems. Depending on what distro you use, you can simply copy-paste these commands to get your preferred desktop environment.

    You could’ve included a table/matrix at the beginning with links to the corresponding commands, so I can for example see column “Arch” and row “Gnome 3.x” and click on that to be taken to the correct command.

    You basically did a DE package rosetta, which is a nice idea :) Arch Wiki has something similar for pacman commands compared to other distributions’ package managers. And if I wanted to find a package’s name on another Linux distribution I’d search in pkgs.org which is another awesome resource. Maybe you can link those in your article?
