Instead of having different downloads for various DEs, Pop!_OS provides a download for Intel/AMD and a download for Nvidia.
Yea, no. Having the proprietary drivers on-disk is legally questionable, which is one of many reasons why we don't do that (not to mention we provide multiple NVIDIA branches, each with a varying range of hardware support, and some NVIDIA cards don't even need the proprietary driver). Building on that, having 6 or 8 ISOs (two for each Edition, counting in Plasma) would just introduce unnecessary confusion and make it more painful to maintain and rapidly iterate on new ISOs.
Pop_OS has a single desktop environment and a total of two images.
I find that Budgie is a sane DE, modern and customisable. It's all most users should really need, and you can always install another DE if you really can't live without Gnome, KDE, Mate, or Plasma
You're entitled to have that opinion and I'm entitled to tell you that you're wrong. It is not up to you to decide what users "really" need. We are not removing the other editions, period. I've had this discussion multiple times before with people claiming we're just wasting our time on the other editions and supporting other desktop environments, and frankly it's getting tiring to hear. Some of us want to support or use other desktop environments.
The Nvidia version has this cool switch that allows you to switch between the on-chip graphics and the Nvidia chip. I personally use the Nvidia all the time, but for some people, this could be very useful as a battery saving option.
This is no different than basically uninstalling the driver to disable the module. Not really fancy.
In Solus, it's an ugly text screen and it defaults to the QWERTY keyboard, which sucks if you have a different layout, so I don't use it.
Yes, this is something we can easily solve with a new installer (the QWERTY keyboard thing)..
