We should simply revert the mistake of making KDE the default desktop.

Amen to that "brother"!





It is funny that most bugs people report here are KDE bugs. I have not
experienced those either with XFCE nor with GNOME3.

Obviously (I don't dare to test) this KDE stuff has bitrotted severely
over the years.

It's basically the same like:

* We ship Firefox instead of Konquerer/rekonq and Epiphany
* We ship LibreOffice instead of KOffice and Gnome-Office
* We ship systemd (and sysvinit for an interim period) instead of
upstart, bsd-init and all the others.

These where all strong decisions, but they show a certain vision for
openSUSE. Having a vision is surely better that
we-package-whatever-crap-upstream-invents (tm). Vision means focus,
focus means concentrating on doing one thing good instead everything in
a mediocre way.

This is the exact same story for
KPackageKit/Apper/the-thing-that-was-developed-two-seconds-before-release
(tm).
Instead of being religions, we should have just shipped nm-applet and
enjoyed a working NetworkManager ;-)


Oh - and bluetoth-applet instead of the kde bluetooth non-working stuff.
xfce4-power-manager instead of the kde powermanagement non-working stuff.

Well, not much would be left over from KDE probably ;-)
