Ok, then why not make other desktop default?
As you may know, the majority of users who install everything by default, leave it as is. So I can only think that kde users are afraid of loosing market, or why have this discussion over and over again.
What kind of argument is that? Should I now answer: since you are against KDE, whatever desktop you use is afraid that nobody would pick it if he knew KDE first? That kind of discussion is bogus and I won't get into it. The reasons why selecting KDE for openSUSE have been listed in this thread, user statistics is one of them.
I'm not against KDE. I use KDE. And gnome. And others. I'm against defining a default desktop, its different. It seems to me that the main reason to set kde as default is to make new users choose kde and increase "market share", with the excuse of no choosing being easier. And that is unfair. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
