As a long time GNU/Linux user I was trying a lot of distros and OpenSuse was one of them several years before. But now, as a laptop user I want mobility and stability of system and of course good appearance – OpenSuse team made it as well!

OpenSuse KDE 4.4 Desktop

This release is using KDE 4.4 or Gnome desktops by default, but I remain by KDE all times with OpenSuse because it’s stable as well and has a beautiful appearance, not like a ancient non-changed Gnome 2 (I’m not a hater, I’m using it with Ubuntu as well).

If you don’t know how to do it, just read more article.
