And let me add, you do not just select the software to install - you also select what level of community support you're going to have available to you - in terms of online help, packages, howtos etc.
I'm sorry, I tried really hard not to reply, but I'm tired of seeing statements like this one. Here, you're implying that GNOME is not well supported (or at least, not as well as KDE from a few orders of magnitude), and really, you're hurting feelings here. Hopefully, this was not your intention and you'll be more careful in the future.
I certainly don't intend to question the effort, dedication or talent of GNOME guys - be that employees or volunteers. I'm not talking about the quality of GNOME in the distro itself either. It's a sheer matter of numbers. I simply claim that KDE users greatly outnumbering GNOME users (for experienced, long-time SUSE power users and enthusiasts this might be even more true btw.) will likely affect the overall experience of a new user using our distro. I think it'd be strange if it wasn't so, and I don't think GNOME guys should take offense to such a statement. If I was giving advise to a new user of Fedora or *ubuntu, I'd also recommend to consider the "community support", as an important factor when deciding which desktop environment to use. Being a minority usually complicates things a bit, that's all. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
