Regarding this the default selected DE doesn't really matter and should not be changed at all. Power users are able to click the right buttons during installation.
Others in this thread have mentioned the unique KDE selling point for openSUSE. That's somehow true. I wish we could have also agreed about such unique non-systemd selling point. A major established rpm-based Linux distro, that's what I'm personally missing and this would be IMHO the only really competitive selling point over Red Hat and Debian derivates.
A openSUSE derivative without systemd would now be essentially a completely different operating system, its that tied into everything. For example when you log in a systemd session now starts your desktop your dbus session etc. There are also many packages that no longer ship sysvinit scripts so the chance for this is long long gone. There is also many things taking use of systemd specific features. -- 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
