I guess it was only the default on desktop systems, but I'd have to double-check what goes in the minimum text-only pattern. It was presumably created to be a better, i.e. faster and more responsive kernel for a desktop user. It's not so long ago either - kernel-desktop turned up in openSUSE 11.2, about six years ago. In an earlier post you mention that the change from desktop to default was because SLE uses kernel-default.
The question which follows from what you wrote above is: don't SLE users use workstations the same as those used by you and me Quite likely.
and which come from openSUSE to begin with? Uh, what does that mean? What comes from openSUSE to begin with?
quote SUSE Linux Enterprise is SUSE's commercial edition, which SUSE releases much less frequently, enabling it to offer support more effectively for enterprise and production deployments. It is certified for a wide variety of enterprise applications and offers a number of special enterprise features including, High Availability and Point of Sale extensions. SUSE historically uses a heavily-tested subset of packages from openSUSE Linux as the basis for SUSE Linux Enterprise. unquote https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SUSE_Linux_distributions
The question which then follows is: why aren't the SLE users allowed the enjoyment of using a faster responsive system than they now have Dunno, maybe the kernel-desktop didn't actually produce a faster, more response system in the end.
I gained from reading various comments was that the desktop WAS produced to get a better, faster, performance. But, just as a matter of interest, why WAS the desktop created as a separate kernel and maintained for the past (?)6 years?
