| - ISO image for usb stick

I must not have mentioned this. Microsoft Corporation is dropping support 
for Windows 10. Well, taking the Ubuntu route and offering security fixes 
to those who give them money or other valuable (spyware) considerations. 
It is also telling many, many people that their computers aren't good 
enough for Windows 11. Millions of people are screwed.

This makes an excellent opportunity for Linux to come to many desktops. In 
my estimation, and I suppose most of those here, TDE is the best desktop 
for Linux, especially when it comes to ease of use.

It is my belief that people exposed to Linux (Debian) and TDE would love it 
and would be freed from software publisher scams. But this would require a 
very easy way to get there. Debian has an excellent automated process. 
(Though for some reason it does not, at least on the LXQT iso, do 
important things such as populate /etc/apt/sources.list with the necessary 
lines to get fixes, nor does it add the subsidiary files employed in the 
new system; without them it was reported everything was up to date, but 
when I added them manually, more than 100 updates were needed. In 
addition, the Debian repository wasn't enabled.)

There are many distributions, but most of them have a catch or else are 
hobbyist distros that are overly complicated for anyone who just wants to 
get Debian and TDE on their machines.

Given the unprecedented opportunity, I therefore hoped for a readily 
accessible image that would do thisfor those who find themselves in the 
position described above. Not looking for ways to cook up an iso but 
getting the iso in front of those who could benefit from it.
