Description Hannes cendio 2025-05-23 09:16:41 CEST 
Currently, the user gets information about possible causes for the “no profiles found” during tl-setup. Here it would be nice to also inform the user about the installed desktops that ThinLinc could find on the system to further help the user to understand this error.

Tested in running tl-setup in both GUI and text mode, with and without detected desktop environments.

Yes, all found X11 desktops are printed in a list in text mode and are presented in a scrollable list in GUI mode.

> SHOULD

Yes, the text now more precisely describes the three different instances found with:
* No desktops found
* Only wayland desktops found
* Some X11 desktops found.
Each with some relevant feedback and possible solutions.

No, this is left for now due to time constraints. This is instead left as a future implementation.
Comment 4 Frida Flodin cendio 2025-05-30 15:59:38 CEST 
The text is not correct when there are no desktops at all.

But otherwise things look good. The scrollable list works as expected and I see all installed desktops in the list.
