Have you actually read the linked emails? Quote:

"There is no decrease in SUSE's involvement in openSUSE! As mentioned in
Robert's mail, it's simply that the openSUSE team at SUSE is choosing to
focus on other openSUSE topics that release engineering, in order to
improve the quality of openSUSE. That includes openQA, workflow in OBS,
etc."

I read that and thought "if they add any more spin to that text then Earth must stop rotating to compensate". In other words, "yeah, right".

Obviously I could be misreading the tea leaves.

(I used SuSE from about version 4 up to and including, for a short time, version 12. That Gnome was just too painful to deal with.)

You used *GNOME* with *SUSE* ????????????

A distribution (one of the few) that has always favoured KDE ?????????

Either you were using the wrong distro, or the wrong desktop :-)

Cheers,
Wol (who started using SuSE with 5.x, and still sometimes does)

SUSE's support of GNOME has been greatly improved over the last few years; the latest stable SUSE ships with a fairly vanilla release of GNOME 3.10, and it's one of the best packagings out there, along with Fedora.

plus, SUSE is still on the GNOME Foundation's advisory board, and it's always a delight working with them.

I prefer using GNOME on distributions which have a different focus. Mandrake+Mandriva had a very high KDE focus. Which resulted in an almost upstream GNOME experience. I thought openSUSE was the same, usually almost upstream and good quality. Don't understand that some mentioned it is very buggy. For Mageia, I noticed their download page now has GNOME first though I think KDE is checked by default (more people look at KDE than GNOME). Mageia the focus is solely based on the amount of work put into it.
