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?
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?
Minimal X makes a lot of sense if the machine will offer X11, but not as a desktop, like using ssh with X11 forwarding.
It would still be simple to keep this functionality if we remove Minimal X from the selection but don't remove the pattern entirely so for this case you would pick "text mode" then in the advanced software selection later on you could enable the minimal X11 pattern when you install the other patterns for whichever software your server needs.
