Would these changes stream down to openSUSE Leap 42.2? I am primarily interested in the raspberry pi 3 support (instead of using Tumbleweed).

Gnome: Default
KDE: Excluded

As it's always been for SLE... *sigh*

Of course Plasma 5 is the default on openSUSE Leap.

KDE market share is also going south on openSUSE. According to Richard Brown.

So openSUSE might change the default soon ..

Care to give any reference? Reality is showing the opposite. KDE release schedule was specifically adjusted for Leap 42.2. Argon and Krypton very recently added to the openSUSE landscape.

Yeah, SLE should be maintanable at all times so this is the right choice. KDE market share is also going south on openSUSE. According to Richard Brown.

So openSUSE might change the default soon ..

C'mon Griffin, stop posting bullshit already...

Why redhat and suse prefer Gnome instead of KDE?

Does it run in ARMv8 mode on the RPI3 then?

[dweigert]

Yes, it does.

Found it! Now I can use openSUSE on everything!
