It doesn't matter to me, I know how to install things. But a newbe doesn't. He just goes to a page, and he gets an error from the web page. Hey, you don't have Flash! Shall we install it for you? Why not, go ahead. Really? Is openSUSE targeting people who can't install software? Also, should not we install everything by default just in case that something might go wrong during installation then?
Not install package X to just-install-everything is Fallacy Of The Undifferentiated Middle. Should a desktop, upon install, without additional remediation, be useful for the the variety of tasks an actual user will commonly want to perform? That is the question. As someone who has installed desktops for people - the oh-crap-yeah-I -also-have-to-install-X - is very annoying. Why if I end up installing X every time is that not a meaningful data point? -- Adam Tauno Williams mailto:awilliam@whitemice.org GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
