Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu starting with v18.04, RHEL and most of it's derivatives, and even SUSE Linux enterprise; so why openSUSE is using KDE by default?
openSUSE is well known to be one of (if not the best) KDE distribution and experience. That is a very valuable asset in terms of popularity that should not be thrown away because "everyone else uses X". There's a button in the installer to use GNOME, problem solved. Also, why the appeal to popularity? Are distributions not allowed to be different anymore?
GNOME is more stable,
That's not been my experience. Not to mention it has basically no customisation.
has better support for Wayland
And yet you still can't use a modern web browser without XWayland. By the time Wayland is usable without XWayland, I have a feeling KDE will have much better support. In fact there were several talks at the last oSC about KDE+Wayland. Also, I'd argue this is actually wrong. More things might work by default, but that doesn't mean they will work better. I had issues with GDM breaking my multiple monitor setup, GTK will *force* client side decorations on Wayland (with no way to disable them without recompiling libgtk) and so on. That's not to say they aren't working on these things, it's just a bit of a silly point to bring up when basically everything sucks when it comes to Wayland support at the moment.
and is extremely beautiful.
Well, in my opinion both GNOME and KDE are god-awful -- that's why I use i3 ;). GNOME always reminds me of Unity but with more screen real-estate stolen by black bars. KDE looks like some weird Windows XP reskin with flashy graphics. All of that being said (in jest), I love GNOME and KDE. I just don't use them because they don't appeal to me -- if you don't like KDE, don't use it. Part of the installer asks you which one you want to use...
Is not GNOME more secure than KDE even?
Under X everything is equally insecure. But please post a CVE list or this is just speculation. -- Aleksa Sarai Software Engineer (Containers) SUSE Linux GmbH https://www.cyphar.com/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
