In 2012 when Ubuntu was the default choice, new users were instantly told what flavours are and what the three options were and why they should choose one over another. The info was also straight on Ubuntu.com where you downloaded the install media from. The problem you're imagining did not exist.

E: Also I'm not trying to recruit new users therefore I'm not demonstrating my recruitment prowess. I'm having a discussion about the historical context of Ubuntu and Kubuntu/KDE. I've successfully converted many laymen users to Ubuntu who still use it to this day. I've converted whole teams to Ubuntu professionally over the years too. I know what it takes to do either.

    Oh. In 2012 they didn't have a simple direct download link to whatever the main one they were pushing at the time was, to reduce analysis paralysis for new users?
