Hello, I've been listening to the discussions lately. It is apparent that there is no one perfect way, because different people have different needs as well as knowledge/backgrounds. If you know, what you want, the default choice doesn't matter, if that doesn't affect the support. If you don't know what you want, the default choice is important. I have a suggestion, but don't know whether it's doable: We know that Plasma/Gnome/... have different issues with different hardware setups. Assuming, that new users might not install proprietary drivers immediately (don't know/can't do), set a default, Plasma or Gnome, which is known to probably work best on the hardware. Maybe set default to Xfce for old machines. I hope this helps the discussion.

Which only achieves one thing: Make installing openSUSE for users new to Linux, and it's concept of different Desktops, harder :-) This has been discussed over[1] and over[2] and over[3] and over[4] again, just give it a rest please...
