      <para>Choose whether you prefer to use the KDE Plasma or GNOME desktop
      environment. Both come with a full set of useful applications and
      tools.</para>

    <listitem>
      <para>Select <emphasis>Custom</emphasis> if you do not wish to use
      either (or, actually use both) of these, or if you want to modify the
      default software choices for these desktop environments. The LXDE
      desktop, for instance, is lighter than the previous two, sporting less
      eye candy and having fewer packages installed by default.</para>
