Hi All, You may recall this lively, lengthy and informative discussion here in mid-January: "Re: [opensuse] Most stable openSUSE version for 64bit computer" https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2017-01/msg00854.html This post is sort of a continuation and 'fork' of that discussion. For far too many reasons to detail here, I have been unable to sufficiently tame KDE Plasma Desktop (on Tumbleweed or Leap 42.2) on my new laptop. This unfortunate realization prompted me to investigate alternative DEs for Leap 42.2. You may already be aware of the 'GeckoLinux' projects available here: https://geckolinux.github.io/ Of particular interest in my case are the Cinnamon 'flavors' of GeckoLinux. You may also be aware of Portal:Cinnamon: https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Cinnamon (As of this afternoon, btw, that page has apparently been visited over 88,000 times.) Over the weekend, I followed the detailed 'zypper' installation instructions on the Portal:Cinnamon page. Cinnamon on Leap 42.2 is running beautifully on my new laptop. Moreover -- after just a few extra hours spent fine-tuning a few things -- I have successfully and completely (100%) replicated the entire functionality of my now retired "production grade, highly tailored" 13.2 KDE4 laptop. Although I'm ecstatic, I'm also a little bit concerned. Does anyone know what the future holds for Portal:Cinnamon? I've e-mailed the apparent maintainer and not heard back (yet.) Alternatively, does anyone have any experience or thoughts to share regarding the GeckoLinux option ... the Cinnamon 'flavors' in particular? Thank you in advance for reading this and I look forward to your replies. regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
