http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1124789 Bug ID: 1124789 Summary: System roles need improvement Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: axel.braun@gmx.de QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- During installation YaST2 offer some predefined system roles: Desktop with KDE/Plasma Desktop with Gnome Generic Desktop Server Transactional Server. So far so good. But its not obvious where the other desktops, like LXQT, XFCE etc are. Proposal: Add a sentence for clarification to 'Generic Desktop', e.g. Use this and select your desired desktop later in 'Installation overview' -> 'Software Selection' -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

How old is your TW download? Generic Desktop already has: "Intended as a base for customized software selection."
Latest available TW. 'Customized software selection' can mean everything, so clarification makes things easier, esp. for less experienced users -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Graphical system with reduced package set. Add Desktop (XFCE, LXQT,...) under 'Software' on the Installation Overview
With this change and no others, no explicit mention of enabling customization would remain on the role screen. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I think the current "Intended as base for a customized software selection" wording is good enough, it clearly tells that it's supposed to be customized by user.
IMO, customizability offered by openSUSE at installation time is one of its important features, but one that is underadvertised, and somewhat disguised by the subtlety of its placement in this single description on a role screen that has "Online Repositorie" [sic] highlighted in its sidebar, followed by the down low and to the left "details" button on the next screen. Maybe this is all intended, maybe it's best, but if not...??? Based on its summary this bug about the whole role screen, not just its middle selection. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

neither TW nor Leap target the clueless so I don't see a need to change the text there. More explanations could be given in the help screen instead. The method to customize the software selection is the same for all options so adding such statements is just superfluous IMO.
This results in a WONTFIX -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
