April 27, 2018 - I personally prefer the KDE Plasma Desktop but on lower powered systems LXQt is probably a better fit. There are several others to choose from and should at some time really be explored as to see which works best for you. The beauty of openSUSE, it is one of few distributions that allows you to install multiple desktops, try them out and see what works best for you.

r/openSUSE on Reddit: openSUSE desktop environments
April 7, 2022 -
I know that this is a general linux question but maybe openSUSE does things a bit differently or suggests things differently. I like gnome, but since gnome 42 there are no customizations, except some small tweaks. Although I don't like to customize things, especially not in the way like kde allows you, I still like to change some small things on gnome. But since it doesn't allow it anymore I'll have to check KDE. So, my questions are: can multiple DE's be installed and how does openSUSE support multiple DE's? Maybe it suggests to install just one DE. can DE's completely be replaced, like installing a new one and deleting the old one? Can other DE's be added, ones that aren't in the installation list and will this affect the distro stability? And what is the recommended DE by openSUSE?

You can install any desktop environment you want, and you can have multiple. You'll just have multiple copies of apps that do the same task. They shouldn't affect the stability of your system, though bugs may slip through testing from upstream (the DE's developers). Also there is no recommended DE for openSUSE.

You can have multiple DEs installed, you'll then just pick what you want to use before logging in. You'll just have multiple apps that do the same, since GNOME and KDE both install their own file explorer or text editor for example. There is no default DE, instead you'll manually select one at install time. You get GNOME, KDE and Xfce presented as equal options, but there are also IceWM and i3wm available with the footnote that IceWM is very basic and i3 is only supported by the community. It should be noted that regardless of your choice, IceWM is installed as a backup in case your current DE breaks, unless you specifically select "no DE". You can also completely remove any DE you currently have installed, even if it's the only one. Zypper uses metapackages (so called patterns) for this, you can just use sudo zypper rm -u to remove any package or pattern along with all of its dependencies that aren't needed by another package. For example, if you already have GNOME installed and want to also install KDE along with all the applications that would be installed if you selected KDE at install time, install the patterns-kde-kde package with sudo zypper in patterns-kde-kde. If you wanted to remove GNOME in the future, you could always use sudo zypper rm -u patterns-gnome-gnome.

A default desktop for openSUSE?

Which desktop environment do you recommend? I'm new to openSuse and idk which one is the best, which uses less ram and cpu.
Thanks

If you are looking for least RAM and CPU usage, I'd go with lxde or xfce from the ones easily available during initial install. Both Gnome and KDE are a bit more resource intensive.
Any relatively modern computer should be able to run any of these desktop environments pretty well, while older hardware might have issues with KDE or Gnome.

If you're looking for performances, my suggestion is xfce with Compton as compositing manager.
Here some inspiring tips to pimp xfce up.

December 20, 2022 - I prefer KDE/Plasma5. openSUSE does a bang-up job on releasing a stable and very usable Plasma5. In the end you have to pick/use the desktop environment that works for you. For me, one like Gnome just makes me swear.. loudly. I find it excruciatingly annoying to use.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed - Okay, but glory all be from the past
Funnily, openSUSE says 83%, but Fedora said 80%. Go figure. The numbers ain't bad, but they are less than what the machine offered when it was new, battery health notwithstanding. What I mean by this, the distros back then were more frugal in their power consumption. This is funny and sad, because it shows how we can never get to having better battery life, because operating systems get heavier and heavier, and for no good reason. I mean, the desktop experience hasn't changed, has it.

3 weeks ago - It is also primarily recommended for server and container-host use, as there is no graphical desktop included. JeOS (Just-Enough OS) is not a separate distribution, but a label for absolutely minimal installation images of Leap or Tumbleweed. These are useful for containers, embedded hardware, or virtualized environments. In general, download an image from https://get.opensuse.org and write (not copy as a file!) it directly to a USB stick, DVD, or SD card.
