big snip
This is a very important factor in ensuring openSUSE and all of its desktop environments are noticed, considered, praised, and reviewed on their own merits, not because of some arbitrary decision that made sense 8 years ago but no longer reflects the reality of what openSUSE offers in 2017.
Got an enormous +1 from my side and my sparse free contributing time. and a Warn thankfull for your words Richard. I'm personally a big fan of KDE ecosystem, (and I love and beat them equally hard :-). The no default choice is a wrong problem. The "we" openSUSE offer so much choice to end users that we have to have this step where people need to express their choice.
So to summarise, my opinion is not that we should consider Tomas' idea, but that we must implement it.
And even if words doesn't do it, having a small popup text describing the strength and upstream references for each desktop so user can have information before going on seems easy. Add a postscriptum telling that : it's not a big affair to make a choice you would like to changes afterwards, open yast, change desktop partern to any other one, and voilà you change your desktop. If only life could be easy as openSUSE! -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch Bareos Partner, openSUSE Member, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
