You look confused. Choosing a distro is not the same thing as choosing a
WM/DE. Some distro provide a default WM/DE, but it doesn't mean that one
is stuck with the DE/WM default on that distro.

And if this is confusing, that's a reason to explain choice and
introduce people to the concept that things can be done in more than one
way and that they usually have several approaches available on
Linux-based systems. Not a reason to ditch choice or hide it.

(Although, back a few years ago, I could even argue that the DE itself
might try to provide a lot of choices. KDE3 was *quite* customizable, at
least to some extent.)
