You can have both
Open Yast Software Management
View by Patterns

Check to install gnome-base and gnome-desktop

Accept

You should have auto login disabled
Disable Auto-Login - openSUSE Forums

At login you can select gnome from the session options

It doesn’t show gnome in that - but it will for you.
