1.11 Desktop Selection

In openSUSE, you can choose from various desktops. KDE and GNOME are powerful graphical desktop environments similar to Windows*. Find information about these in KDE User Guide and GNOME User Guide. This dialog is not available when installing from the CD-KDE or CD-GNOME.

If you want neither KDE nor GNOME, choose Other for more options. With Minimal Graphical System, install a graphical window manager that allows for running stand-alone X applications and console windows but does not provide the usual integrated desktop functionality. In Text Mode, only console terminals are available.
