If its your first time using Linux ever, without spending 15 minutes googling how do you know which of KDE or Gnome is the right choice? This is where it is hard and where the installer needs to do better (for leap users anyway)
Whether first time user or not, IMO the starkness of the role screen http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Suse/YaST/yast2-sTWcRole201703.png speaks loudly "for experts only" or "only for those who already know exactly what they want". There ought to be *something* more than a help button to use that vast void to assist the observer in selecting the offered choice better suited to his taste, needs, personality, intent, etc. A brief statement as to why the selection list is short (.iso size limited or whatever) also ought to be considered, maybe as a description of "custom"; and for "configure on-line repositories". With the help button placed as it is, or maybe even regardless of where placed, I have my doubts that many who really should do actually open help. Even its content doesn't provide much help in distinguishing between Gnome and KDE. While in part this is because of the run-on paragraph formatting, both are foremost described as "a powerful and intuitive desktop environment". Us knowing that openSUSE is not Mint or Ubuntu does not help the person needing to make a selection on the role screen. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
