Q4OS with the Cinnamon desktop, why not?

Unfortunately Q4OS is only released with two desktop environments: Trinity and Plasma, i would really like there to also be a version with the Cinnamon desktop, i would install it immediately, after all it would be Debian without the difficulties and mental wanks of Debian...
Team Q4OS, what do you think?
Give it a little thought. ;-)

Best regards!

From "Q4OS Welcome Screen", choose "Profile Manager", click ">" aside the text "Desktop Environment", click on the checkbox to enable other DE, and choose Cinnamon.

First of all, thank you, I didn't know it was possible to do this. 
But then at startup will I have to choose each time which desktop environment to start Q4OS with? 
Will I end up with two desktop environments installed?   
Bear in mind that I like direct access, without having to type in my username and password every time.

I suppose there will be a default.

Yes.

There is an option to autologin in System configuration. I don't know the wording in English; in French it is Configuration du Système > Démarrage et Arrêt > Écran de connexion > Avancé.
