Ward: So long Fuduntu, hello FuSE
One of the first things discussed was the default desktop environment that would be used on the new distro. After discussing many different DE’s, including KDE, xfce, razor-qt, klyde, and Consort, it was put up to a vote. The majority ruled in favor of Consort which is currently being developed by Ikey Doherty, the founder of SolusOS. It is based off of GTK3 but designed to look, and act, like GNOME2. The team, however, still has plans to evaluate it to ensure integration and stability before officially declaring it as the default DE. KDE, however, will also be available as well as other DE’s by way of the openSUSE repos."
