Hi. I did a fresh Tumbleweed installation recently and TBH I find the selections of default packages less than ideal. I hope you'll find my suggestions helpful:
The "worst offender" IMO is that by default there are four (!) different ways exposed to the user via K_Menu icons to add and configure printers: system-config-printer, CUPS icon to launch the web interface, YaST, and KDE System Settings.
Whoo, I successfully cut down the "printer icon overload" by a third. https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/405210 has been pushed to TW a few days ago.
There are also a bunch of applications that cover rather specific niche cases: hugin - Stitching panoramas kruler - Count pixels kompare - Compare files konqueror - Two browsers are overkill. Konqueror is also behind in web technologies; plus you don't seem to track https://github.com/annulen/webkit to ship bug fixes. konversation - IRC is nice but the general public doesn't use it. libqt5-linguist and libQt5Designer5 - For developers only. The latter because of a weird dependency.
Should I modify and send a Submit Request to https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/system:install:head/patterns-openSUS... directly? My plan would be to change Recommends to Suggests in the patterns-openSUSE.spec file. I'd also start small and sort out smaller utilities like kruler, look how that works out, and possibly send subsequent SRs. Any objections?
Several *-32bit are also installed in TW 64bit but that has probably nothing to do with KDE software (didn't check the dependency tree, though).
In addition I propose those packages to include in the default installation: discover - More approachable than YaST plasma5-session-wayland - For Plasma 5.6 or 5.7. Install only, not default yet. noto-emoji-fonts & noto-sans-symbols-fonts - Emoji and Dingbats are the norm nowadays. They shouldn't show up as placeholder boxes.
Bye – Markus
