As Zonker says, latest KDE is available in the openSUSE Build Service. This release date fell on the knife edge between KDE releases, and then the delay extended it past the 4.9 release. Since the delay was to add stabilization, rushing 4.9.0 in was a bad idea.

I recommend you wait until tomorrow then add KDE:Release:49 repo (http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/4...) as 4.9.1, released yesterday, is now building vs openSUSE 12.2. This has a lot of fixes vs 4.9.0.

Im looking for a combination of new and well tested. GNOME seems like a natural choice for now. Maybe I will test in a month when GNOME 3.4 is "obsolete" like KDE 4.8 and KDE 4.9 is smoke tested.

I've run KDE 4.9 with OpenSuse 12.2 for more than a month now -- without a single problem. I'll update to 4.9.1 tomorrow, but I found 4.9.0 very stable and very good.

Thank you for not succumbing to Mandriva syndrome. Solid release > absolutely latest versions.
