Difference between Shri install modes:
Offline just installs what you see. It offers no options to select.
Online Easy Mode: It takes care of essentials and let you select everything
in a way that ensuress it will succeed in installing the system as per your
selections and prefrences.
Online Advance Mode: It is all upto you. Incorrect choices will break installation
or will present incomplete desktop environment. Such as you may endup selecting
intel ucode while you have AMD cpu, this will prevent system from booting.
Or you may choose lightdm with plasma desktop, which will not let you login to your desktop.
Both online mode need working internet connection.
