Helo, Setelah diskusi cukup panjang atas sebuah usulan fitur untuk membuat KDE menjadi default desktop, openSUSE board mengambil keputusan untuk meletakkan default radio button ke KDE untuk openSUSE DVD di 11.2. User bisa menginstall nya hanya jika setuju dengan pilihan default ini. Sepertinya lokasi radio button GNOME tetap di atas. Silakan baca email Michael Loeffler yang saya sertakan di bawah.
Well, diskusi ini cukup panjang di openSUSE mailing list, dan tentu saja melibatkan para supporter dan developer GNOME dan KDE. Seperti kita tahu bahwa pencetus GNOME seperti Miguel de Icaza, Frederico Mena dan Nat Friedman bekerja untuk Novell. Tetapi sejak sebelum diakuisisi oleh Novell, openSUSE adalah pendukung utama KDE kita mengenal nama-nama developer KDE yang bekerja (pernah bekerja) untuk Novell seperti Lubos Lunak, Will Stephenson, Stephan Binner. Hasil survey dan statistik terakhir menunjukkan pengguna KDE di openSUSE sangat jauh lebih banyak dibandingkan pengguna GNOME. Keputusan ini diambil tentu saja didasarkan oleh banyak pertimbangan, dan tidak bermaksud mengesampingkan salah satu desktop environment, tetapi semata untuk memudahkan user mengambil pilihan instalasi. Ubuntu dan Fedora memutuskan pilihan default install ke GNOME. SLES dan SLED sejauh ini juga tetap menggunakan default GNOME. Dan openSUSE akan tetap memberikan dukungan penuh ke GNOME. Apapun pilihannya, kernel dan distribusinya tetap sama :-) salam, -- medwinz ======================= http://medwinz.blogspot.com http://medwinz.blogsome.com openSUSE member openSUSE Weekly News Team ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Michael Loeffler <[email protected]> Date: Thu, Aug 20, 2009 at 8:56 PM Subject: [opensuse-project] Decision made - openFATE feature 306967, KDE default To: [email protected] Hi all, the topic of a "default desktop" was raised in July as a feature[1] in our openFATE feature tracking system by a community member, and it was a subject of a lively debate within openFATE and on the openSUSE Project mailing list[2]. The default desktop is an issue that many openSUSE users and contributors are passionate about. After consideration of the project discussion I discussed the feature request further with the openSUSE Board and other leaders within the openSUSE project and came to the decision to follow the request: we will default the radio button to KDE in the DVD installer. Therefore, with openSUSE 11.2 release, the KDE desktop will be installed if the user accepts the default setting. Users can also choose the GNOME desktop at this stage. We want to make clear that both desktops are considered equal citizens within the openSUSE Project, and this will not have any impact on the quality of the GNOME desktop within openSUSE. GNOME will continue to be offered as a top- level installation choice, and we will continue to strive to provide the best GNOME and KDE desktop experience. Thanks to everyone for conducting the conversation in a professional and courteous manner and for the quality of feedback we've received. This shows the strength of our community, and it's good to know we can address the tough issues head on and remain focused on the project goals.
