fd.o's standard consists of 2 distinct parts, Main categories [1] and Additional categories [2]. Instead of having menus consist of Main categories > Sub categories, we should have just Main categories. They require less maintance, less icons, less translations and standard around them is updated less frequently.
If nobody else has an opinion on that fine with me. Personally I'd favor installing less by default anyways which would mean less crowded menus.

Those submenus are one of my favorite openSUSE features. I've liked the tree branching menu style for more than two decades. Scrolling through main category lists is a pain, particularly when you don't know by name which app you're looking for.
You have to explain your use case and desktop environment. A default install really shouldn't have so many things installed that you have to navigate through a huge tree of apps. And GNOME for example has no nested menu in the first place. KDE has a menu but deep nesting wouldn't make 'Marble', 'Spectacle' or 'KTnef' any more explanatory. The default structure leaves a flat and crowded Utilities menu and lots of submenus in Games. Doesn't make things easy to find at all. One improvement the KDE menu will see is switching to a different presentation mode as can be seen in Tumbleweed: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/781419#step/desktop_mainmenu/3 XFCE did something similar. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.com/ SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
