Dear Pirmin, Thank you for the details! Strong +1 from me to add t-rex to OSGeoLive.
I see a pull request in place already: https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive/pull/232 Since we are very close to the release of 12.0 version, perhaps we should include t-rex without adding the documentation yet, since our translators will have zero time to translate until release. In any case, for 13.0 we would need a project overview and a quickstart.
