I don't think so. You are implying that a novice should install KDE and not XFCE. Not always so. The novice may have an old computer, so he is directed to choose XFCE or LXDE The novice can also be versed in another Linux distribution, maybe not used to suse patterns.
Actually I install XFCE for all my novice Linux users coming from Windows because that's what they are used to (looks very similar to classic desktop on Windows 7 or earlier).
Absolutely!
BTW: Using KDE is not an option at all.
Yes, true. Nor is gnome.
So I'd really prefer if the installation routine does not make it harder to choose XFCE.
Yes.
We have got slightly off track here, lets try and focus on the design elements rather then the which desktops go where, if there is enough community support / good reasoning its not hard to move a particular desktop from one spot to the other. What I hope we can agree is just presenting a list of 8 desktops + there icons too new users is quite daunting so the plan is to make something better. Where individual desktops end up sitting in that something better can be further discussed later when its done. But I can guarantee selecting whichever desktop you want won't be hard or hidden away in the new screens like selecting Mate or LXQt is at the moment. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
