One of the main goals for this proposal is too make it easier and clearer to install Mate, Cinnamon, LXQt and others but at the same time not give new users a choice of 8+ desktops which would be confusing, choosing between 2 is hard enough.
But having to activate other desktops via patterns is worse, I think. It makes things harder. Not everybody wanting to install one of those is an expert, may be newcomers to openSUSE.
Do you really think that checking one pattern is so hard for average experienced user? I worry we do not have any good candidates for UX testing in company.
For total beginners I think KDE or gnome is good enough options and when they know about others desktop, I believe they can select pattern easily.
As some have said, a desktop such as XFCE is easier on novices coming from "classical" Windows, because it feels similar.
You can make a clickable list and differentiate first/second level choices, perhaps.
It was there before and it was hard to maintain. On other hand patterns already exists and should contain all needed stuff. It is maintained by someone who knows given desktop and not by yast team and it can be also easily extended with new ones for another desktops.
That's a good point, I admit. But then there will not be descriptive texts nor pictures about the desktops... - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
