r/openSUSE on Reddit: Tumbleweed Generic Desktop as a light linux install
August 2, 2022 -
So I've been looking for a light, preferably rolling linux release for my 15 year old Thinkpad T61. And I have to say, I think I'll stick with the Icewm (Generic Desktop) option quit a lot. It's fully functional and pretty snappy on this old beasty.
Anybody else install this as a midpoint and decide to stay?

Choosing a distribution - openSUSE User Documentation Project
During openSUSE Installation, there is a section titled System Role, which applies patterns to the software selected for the respective installation. This is the primary means to select a desktop environment. There is an additional option titled Generic Desktop.
Going to install Tumbleweed KDE in few hours. Help me trim excess fat.
If an application does not use it, it does not consume resources, so unless you have disk space problems, deleting applications will not make the system leaner.

September 21, 2023Alternative DE w/OpenSUSE - how does it work?
Hi, I recently installed OpenSUSE Tumbleweed w/KDE. However, I’m thinking of trying another DE instead (having some freezing issues that might be KDE, also want to be able to sue VNC and KDE isn’t compatible with the login). I’ve never installed a second/alternative desktop environment ... More on forums.opensuse.org

October 6, 2024 - If want to have a very small system with only LXQt and no other Desktop Environment installed, you can do this already from the installation media (in this example from the network installation iso, openSUSE-Tumbleweed-NET-x86_64-Current.iso). If you use the installation DVD, make sure you have online repositories activated - due to limited space on a DVD, not all Desktops can be shipped. During installation, select the Generic Desktop menu entry:

r/openSUSE - Going to install Tumbleweed KDE in few hours. Help me trim excess fat.
October 5, 2018 -
Things happened and I need to reinstall my OS. This time I wish to make it lean, while maintaining proper KDE installation. I have been using SUSE since 2006 so you can pretty much expect me to know what I'm doing.
I'll be using this primarily for web browsing. Other than games, offices, and multimedia and graphics editing patterns, can you recommend me non-critical packages/patterns that I can get rid of?

Go for a run while it is actually doing the install.. Best advice I can give after 20 years of Linux and losing 60 lbs in the last 3 years.

r/openSUSE on Reddit: Best desktop environments for Opensuse tumbleweed?
January 10, 2021 - I'm a long time fan of GNOME, so that's what I run and its working flawlessly. openSUSE is 'known' as a KDE distro, but I appreciate that it's much more of an old-school install where you can simply select which distro you want during install - you don't even have to pre-select that when you download your iso. ... Yep. Now I just have 2 usb sticks. One for leap, one for tumbleweed and I could whip either out whenever someone asks (although its unlikely) and not have to redownload the DE that person wants.

openSUSE Tumbleweed Now Offers Wayland Support for the LXQt Desktop - 9to5Linux
January 13, 2025 - While not many distros ship LXQt with Wayland support (due to the experimental flag), you can give it a try in openSUSE Tumbleweed. However, openSUSE doesn’t offer a dedicated live ISO image with the LXQt desktop, so you’ll have to install it from the repositories on top of your existing environment or perform a fresh install. When performing a fresh install, you must choose the Generic Desktop option during the installation and then select LXQt by clicking on the ‘Software’ section in the installation summary before starting the installation.
