I agree that openSUSE has best integrated with KDE, but usage and resource usability has become an important factor and Xfce uses less memory, that's for sure. I hope big openSUSE team can maintain Xfce live CD also like it maintains Gnome also....;)- + #4: Karl Cheng (qantas94heavy) (2018-07-19 00:03:45) + Rescue live CD has Xfce, available for both TW and Leap. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314529
