Even if we'd go for eg. an 8GB USB image exclusively or in addition, we'd still have a similar discussion in picking an 8GB subset of the 35GB we have online.
Forgive me if this is an FAQ or anything... But surely at least _one_ possible answer to this would be for OpenSUSE to do what Ubuntu and Fedora have already done, and switch to offering separate "remixes" or "spins" for each desktop that's included in the greater distribution? AIUI this is essentially a matter of metadata and it should thus be somewhat amenable to automation. So if the hypothetical user clicks a download link for OpenSUSE Leap, say, they get a choice: * KDE * GNOME * Xfce * LXDE * Cinnamon * Maté And that's it. If you don't want one of the pre-configured desktops, you download the network installation image and pick your own packages. The Ubuntu model is to "outsource" development of most of these to the community -- the official mainstream distro only offers GNOME. That's what has currently happened with Gecko Linux, AFAICS: https://geckolinux.github.io/ -- Liam Proven - Technical Writer, SUSE Linux s.r.o.
