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.
