01.The matrix
Each cell is one base plus one desktop. A filled cell has a live ISO you can download, shaded by how recently it was built; an outlined one is an OCI image you can rebase onto. N and H mark bases that also ship NVIDIA and HWE-kernel editions.

02.The desktops
The same desktop layer, built across every base that can carry it. Pick the desktop you want and the base you trust — they are separate choices.
GNOMEThe polished default — latest GNOME, backported to Enterprise Linux.
KDE PlasmaEndlessly customizable, feature-rich Plasma desktop.
COSMICSystem76's Rust-built next-gen desktop.
NiriA scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor for keyboard-driven flow.
XFCEThe classic lightweight desktop — ported to Wayland with the new xfwl4 compositor.
- Pantheonelementary OS's elegant, minimal desktop — GNOME apps, own shell.
