I liked very much the idea that installer should somehow "check" the hardware and if it is too weak to run KDE/GNOME, the installer should as default promote e.g. XFCE and/or notify user KDE/GNOME would require more CPU, memory, whatever. I have no idea how difficult would it be. I think everyone can imagine frustration from running terribly slooooooow system. Especially when some more lightweight DE would run fast on very same HW.
While this might seem like a good idea at first, imagine a user (not necessarily a newbie) doing three installations on three slightly different machines, doing exactly the same every time and getting three totally different results.
Not good.
Talking about DE, I would like to know (as being a strong fan of such desktop) why openSUSE installer doesn't propose also Cinnamon as alternative to KDE/GNOME.
In my humble opinion, Cinnamon today is stable, fully customable and very user friendly and for these reasons more suitable for a newbie than GNOME 3
The first step is to get the Cinnamon maintainers to create a pattern for Cinnamon so that it shows up in the other section, we would also want to add openQA tests for it to ensure that its being well tested and doesn't get broken as well, but this is again why we probably need a better definition of the criteria needed so maintainers know whats needed. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
