Which TunaOS image

Each image is one base distribution with a choice of desktop. Four of them cover most people; the rest exist for anyone who wants that specific base.

01.The four main images

All four are bootc OCI images with live ISOs, and all four ship GNOME, KDE Plasma, COSMIC and Niri.

02.Other bases

The same desktop layer on other distributions, plus the rolling-release siblings of the images above. These are published and updated, but they get less testing than the four above.
