Install without gnome/kde

is it possible to install suse with just xfce or do you need to install gnome as well, or kde.
Once the new update hits i might just install the system new. Thats why kinda curious about this.

Thanks for the input;)

There are some “lightweight” window managers offered during the initial install, so you don’t need to install KDE or GNOME. As far as I know, LXDE will be supported in 11.3.

You could also install SuSE without any desktop environment / windowmanager at all. Any package can be deselected during the install.

Cool.
I like that. Wasn’t really sure anymore, but that will make it easier for me.

Not that i don’t like any of the other desktops.

Thanks :slight_smile:

You’ll inevitably end up with some KDE and Gnome library packages as some apps will be built for these graphical environments.

Not inevitably - as I wrote, you can deselect any package during the initial install. As this can also be done by using patterns, it’s not too much of a hassle either.

Of course, I understand that. Mayeb I didn’t explain that as well as I could have. I meant that this can happen as a prerequiste to installing an application (ie to inform the OP about why it may happen that some KDE/Gnome related packages may be installed post-installation).
