I think the Debian community will never | publish a live image based on packages outside official repos. You can | just build it by yourself and publish it.

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. -- dep
