How many run openSUSE Gnome?

[swerdna]

Gnome ATM (while KDE settles down). It's so good to have a DE with no eccentricities.

I'll install both KDE & Gnome on separate partitions when 11.2 is released, and give them both a whirl to see which is better this time round.

Are you going to post a comparative review on your thought of both KDE and Gnome on openSUSE 11.2 when you do this? That would be an interesting read.

I'm interested to know Malcolm - how you get on with Multi-Media in SLED. Is it OK to add Packman?

I used to switch between Gnome and KDE3, but after the not-ready-for-prime time KDE4 was pushed in oS 11.0, I went exclusively to Gnome and haven't looked back. I've been looking at KDE 4.3, and while it's improved a lot, I wouldn't make it me primary desktop. There are a few K-apps that don't have a match in Gnome, though, such as K3B.

I love the choice. Main DE is KDE4, but I use Gnome, XFCE and LXDE as well. They all have their pros and contras. Like anything in life.

Too busy ATM. It's always very busy when there's a new release of openSUSE.

Using KDE as I prefer all the default KDE applications above the Gnome counterparts.

Exceptions being Kopete/Pidgin, of which I like neither... although I haven't really given them a chance for a long time, but I quite like KMess (and liked Emesene under Gnome).
Same thing with the mediaplayer, don't like Kaffeine or Totem, much prefer SMPlayer.

Easier to get a coherent desktop under gnome though, Firefox and Chromium and java apps all using GTK (or looking like it) which is a point of envy I must admit

Hi
It should work ok just not supported

This site http://www.pcc-services.com/index.html provided custom builds
but nothing for 11 yet.

Unfortunately I haven't tested it as I use the fluendo codec bundle and
DVD player, two rpms to install and everything works.

I had a bug initially with the DVD player in SLED, they fixed it within
48 hours and had it updated.

Forgot to say I use handbrake as well as libdvdcss (for handbrake) just
custom compiled those two on a SLED VM.

I use Gnome, and I like it - lots. For whatever reasons, and they vary, KDE has always turned out to be a deal-breaker,

I certainly hope that this Suse-KDE thing does not become exclusive, leaving Gnome behind. I like OpenSuse with Gnome. I hope I do not feel the need to cgange.
