Having thought on this more, maybe we could make this a bit better but i'm leaning toward more that the x11 patterns should just be hidden, on there own they don't do anything useful other then reduce the list of things the other desktop patterns use. The reason we have the x11 / x11_opt split is for stuff we want on the DVD vs stuff that doesn't fit.
That's a rather bad reason - it means a DVD install has a different result without online repos.
For the usecase your suggesting someone should be able to just select the Basesystem pattern then install the package for the desktop they want on top, be it enlightenment, icewm, lxqt etc. or a selection of xfce packages. You should be able to install any desktop without the x11 pattern, if not its a bug in the desktop package.
Yes - just choosing a single pattern in the "Custom" selection.
Currently I think SLES uses the X11 pattern for icewm, which is why this pattern is visible maybe we should split that out into a "Simple / basic" desktop pattern and make that visible instead. But I think it would be best if we keep doing the same thing between SLES / openSUSE as much as possible.
Sounds like a good idea. Can that be done for 15.2? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
