redefining it as a smaller circle (openSUSE minus GNOME).
This is not now nor evey was contemplated. It exists *only* in your mind. The entire discussion was based in making a default choice based on expected usage and was not to show partiality or demonstrate a better-worse situation, and was intended to address the new linux user only.
That intention I doubt. At least a 'healthy bit' of enthusiasm to push KDE did come across in some comments; completely understandable. What I don't understand is that _obviously_ Mr Schlander and Mr Lubak did not waste any thoughts on how their _demand_ to default KDE would play with the openSUSE GNOME community.
You *obviously* prefer gnome. Have you not tried any of the others before making your choice and are you not interested that one of the others may have a feature you might like?
My history is Mac --> Windows 3.1 till 2000 --> KDE 3.5 --> GNOME. And yes, I try KDE from time to time. Not my cup of tea, but it's fine. I prefer GNOME but I would never, NEVER have gotten it in my head that KDE was 'undeservedly' treated as an equal to my preferred DE because _my_ preferred DE isn't defaulted. That's a way of thinking that I cannot condone; if find it downright indecent. But well, all of us GNOMErs respect the decision to default KDE for 11.2; as dubious as the decision-making process might have been, but I for one _demand_ that this decision be revisited for 11.3. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
