That was my thought as well.  But I've seen people online recommend against installing a desktop environment that doesn't officially come with the distro.

I wonder if there may be issues for distros that are based on other distros.  For instance, Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu, so it can use the same sources for software that's available for Ubuntu, but I suppose it's possible that the maintainers of Linux Mint might not necessarily account for all the issues that might arise from installing packages that they didn't include by default in the distro.
