Todd Rme: [...]
openSUSE defaults to KDE because, as far as anyone has been able to determine, a plurality of openSUSE users want KDE as the default. You can disagree with that as much as you want, but unless someone comes up with a more reliable way to determine what the community wants, openSUSE maintainers have to use the best information available to them.

Are there download numbers available? Someone with access to the data can pick two packages, one needed (only) for a desktop with Plasma, the other for Gnome. For each distribution of openSUSE divide the number of downloads for these package with the number of available (update-)versions of the selected package. Perhaps the result might be a possible hint, what is used the most and should be the default. The choice will be better based on numbers than on the opinions from a very active but still small group. Only if the results are quite close, further discussions might be needed. All the best. sg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
