Hi,
In the thread about lxdm we learned that we don't seem to have LXDE maintainers anymore. Yet we have LXDE on the DVD and offer it very prominently in the installer: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/230205#step/installer_desktopselection/6
So I wonder if putting LXDE in the spotlight like that still makes sense?
I use LXDE for several years now and I am still satisfied with its performance. For me it is easy to use DE without that are fast and cheap on resources without fancy eye candy stuff that I do not need for work. So I think it still deserve its place in installer as I try remaining options and for me LXDE works the best ( even XFCE4 have its problems ).
Also, I wonder whether the minimal X selection adds much value. Those who want to use a different window manager could start off from text mode just as well, right?
It offers some preconfiguration from installer that helps. So it make sense for some use cases. Like if you would like to use tilling window manager, then it is much easier to do it from minimal X then from text mode. If there is plan to remove it, do we have replacement? So we can compare if replacement works same or better? just my 2c Josef
