Financial suicide. Please see my earlier posts about gnome and SuSE x86_64, basically it doesn't work. There are bugs in it which mean that gnome hogs 100% CPU - this has been reported, has been known about for months, and yet nothing happens. As soon as I switched to KDE I could use my machine.
Hmm. Interesting. I have been running SUSE with GNOME desktop on two x86_64 boxes since version 9.3 and my GNOME is not hogging my system. Mono do that from time to time, but I disable Beagle (mono does the same thing on 32-bit machines too). This is a problem with Beagle, not GNOME. If you used Beagle under KDE, or Xfce, or FWVM, then you would end up with the same problem.
Now personally I like the clean interface of Gnome, but it seems like a lot more time and effort is put into making KDE stable (if a bit slow).
This being true, do you really think they will discontinue KDE and commit "financial suicide"
Hopefully there will be a U-turn soon, or I will be dropping SuSE from all our machines.
What do you mean with a U-Turn? Do you mean they should focus more on getting GNOME better supported?
