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?
Alternative DE w/OpenSUSE - how does it work?
Hi, I recently installed OpenSUSE Tumbleweed w/KDE.

I’ve never installed a second/alternative desktop environment ... More on forums.opensuse.org

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.

May 31, 2025 - Although this might not beat out some of the lightweight Linux distributions, for openSUSE to perform this well is a feat. First off, you have to remember that Tumbleweed is a rolling release distribution, so you have to understand that you’d be using an OS that is constantly updated (and doesn’t require upgrading from major release to major release). If you’re okay with that, then Tumbleweed 16 is a great option because it’s not only well-designed, but it includes one of the most powerful desktop admin tools on the market (YaST).

My First 24 Hours With openSUSE Tumbleweed
November 18, 2024 - My understanding is that's not the case with Ubuntu or elementary OS, and the developers have their reasons for not bundling it. For me, however, it's a default inclusion that I appreciate not having to add on my own. My XPS 13 is now truly an all-day work device and I'm never concerned about being close to the charger. My next steps will be really putting Tumbleweed through the paces in my daily work routine. That's going to include podcasting on it, video editing and some benchmarking as well (oh, on the Threadripper 1950x system, not the XPS 13!)

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.

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?
