I also feel the same.
Surely there are other, minimalist, less demanding distributions and desktops? Surely the OP doesn't have to use KDE or Gnome.
Well, related to that, there are several people that are coming to the forums with a common interest: they are expatriates from Windows XP (Xp goes out of support in 2014), seeking someway to keep using their same computer with something else. And considering openSUSE. If they can not succeed to make it work, they may go to another distribution, or going back to Windows. We have now an opportunity to win a bunch of new users to us. And years ago, one of Linux advantages was precissely being able to run on older hardware, contrary to Windows requiring hardware upgrades on each version upgrade. Has openSUSE abandoned this goal? Me, I have an old laptop (~10 years?) on the home server role. I use LXDE on it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 12.3 x86_64 "Dartmouth" at Telcontar)
