And stop trying to pretend that the current non-default with GNOME on top isn't seen as specification of a preference by everybody.
It's not perceived in that way by me. But I have nothing against moving KDE at the top if this is reassuring for KDE users. [joking mode on]One could think to randomize the order, put them in diagonal, horizontally...[/off] ;-)
Instead it'd make matters much worse than the status quo and creates a ton of new problems - bloat, waste of disk space, menu clutter, alienating KDE *and* GNOME fanboys, what to (auto)login to on first boot.. etc. It's a horrible idea.
I agree. I was among those who pushed to have a clean GNOME installation without any trace of KDE for what possible. I don't see how installing two DE's by default can help. And this decision is *not* a joke, it will have consequences on the future of the distribution, so please *be realistic* and use a grain of salt when proposing something!
The idea of randomized sort order is a bit better - but still a non-solution to the actual problems.
The actual problems have *nothing* to do with the default desktop. I have been hammering for too long about them I really lost any interest in opening the discussion again, but do not pretend that choosing a default desktop will fix automatically increase the number of users and contributors as someone in the KDE team is suggesting. It is simply an unfounded statement. Best, A. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
