OpenSUSE Leap 15.2 Released With AI/ML Packages Added, YaST Improvements

The reasons why SUSE uses Gnome, is because the enterprise versions often lengthen the support and KDE does not want to do it besides Lts,

Nope, that is not correct. Not the reason or that Gnome has any kind of lengthen support, they are just like KDE in that regards, just LTS.
The use of Gnome in SUSE is a historical thing, from even before the term LTS was commonly used.

Back when SUSE was owned by Novell, they bought a Gnome company, Ximian and one of it's founders Nat Friedman ended up in a leading position at SUSE/Novell. Due to him and others from Ximian (And I guess support from some others in Novell management, as a way to defend the not so great acquisition), they changed default to Gnome. They also tried to change the default in OpenSUSE, but the massive push-back from users and developers stopped it. As a way to save face and still push their unwanted agenda, it ended up with the lame compromise "no default at install" solution still present today. In reality, as everyone know, the default for the OpenSUSE userbase is still KDE.

144hz telling everyone to calm down reminds me of my favorite movie - The Big Lebowski.
The Dude: Just take it easy, man.
Walter: I'm perfectly calm, Dude.
The Dude: Yeah? Wavin' the f'in' gun around?!
Walter: Calmer than you are.
The Dude: Will you just take it easy?
Walter: Calmer than you are.

You know what it reminds me of?

World domination plans. Apparently they are nice to you, but then they stab you when they already got you.

Like pop music. It was nice for a time, but then they dumbed it down to the point they turned them into monkeys that would do anything, even if stupid, to stay.

Vistaus You should calm down too. OpenSUSE used to come with KDE as default. That was changed years ago. Just recently it got updated in the documentation. SUSE comes with GNOME and Wayland support is now a hard requirement.

One more "calm down" and I am going insane. Just freaking leave already.

I wonder why they use Gnome for their enterprise SUSE desktop and KDE for the openSUSE version. Their KDE implementation is great, so why they and other companies not using KDE in their commercial desktop versions?

KDE is mostly community-backed, with little corporate support. That's why SLE uses GNOME.

DanL Calm down would you? Go read the mailing lists including the engineering reports on the merger between SUSE and OpenSUSE packages. They plan further work on the desktop

NO! I WILL NOT CALM DOWN!

All you want is to freaking kill KDE and be super happy about it, in the most dumb, world-dom style, FREAKING way!!!

Like MAKING US CALM DOWN so that we just let your freaking crap get in :l
I am tired of it! WHAT IN THE HELL is the problem!!!!!

There is no problem! GNOME is GNOME and KDE is KDE, OK?!
Let them both live, and leave everything in peace. You want to use GNOME? OK, good. But don't use that as a freaking excuse to kill KDE.

starshipeleven You know very well that SUSE got a desktop group working on the merger. The discussions haven’t happened yet and that makes a lot of sense. 15.2 need to go before they do more actions that might cause further backlash.

The merger will NOT get rid of KDE, and it will not change the default desktop to GNOME. OK?!?!

[DanL]

stop resisting!!!!!

Calm down!!!!!!!

I'm gonna need a 10 ft stick for this thread.

And dammit if that isn't the perfect 10 ft stick for discussing distribution defaults.

Not ture, there is no default DE on openSUSE.

[Charlie68]

The reasons why SUSE uses Gnome, is because the enterprise versions often lengthen the support and KDE does not want to do it besides Lts, also in the enterprise environment the DE is irrelevant and in any case it is not provided with a Gnome Shell session, but a Gnome session similar to that used by Red Hat.
It has already been explained many times to DE war soldiers that openSUSE tries to offer the best Gnome, the best KDE etc. will be the users to choose and at the moment it seems that KDE is the most popular. openSUSE has always had excellent KDE maintainers who do a great job, it is one of the few distributions that treats KDE as first-class DE, regardless of whether there is a check mark on KDE or anything else.
