If you have an old system still running a 32-bit CPU and with barely adequate amount of RAM, then why not use something like XFCE which uses so much less resources? The option is there when one is installing openSUSE - the preferred default options are Gnome or KDE, but one has the choice of using other desktop environments.
I have an older Asus EeePC that has full blown Kubuntu 12.04 32 bit. It has 2 gigs of ram and a 64 gig SSD. Admittedly, I don't use it as a production machine, but it works just fine for what I do use it for. My point is that for a limited use machine KDE is viable. However, I do agree with Basil, XFCE is probably a better choice. -- Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must. like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.-Thomas Paine _ _... ..._ _ _._ ._ ..... ._.. ... .._ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
