There is none, 'KDE Plasma Workspace' is a link to 'Plasma5': $ ll /usr/share/xsessions/ total 24K lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 42 Oct 9 21:19 default.desktop -> /etc/alternatives/ default-xsession.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root 4.3K Jul 23 15:36 icewm.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root 2.5K Jul 23 15:36 icewm-session.desktop lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 15 Oct 9 21:20 kde-plasma.desktop -> plasma5.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root 2.4K Oct 9 21:03 plasma5.desktop

Wondered the same recently and was astounded when I found they were the same. Why does this link exist, who put it in, and why? And is there a downside to removing the link? Confusing choices that yield exactly the same result serve no purpose. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
