It's Gnome is pretty good.
Interestinh thing about Gnome is once one has installed it one can instll oall other suppoerted desktop on top of Gnome base.
Enlightenment (450MB) and Cinnamon Mint (takes abuot 1200MB with full install), take lot of space but one can save lot of space due to sharing on libraries unlike in sandboxed situation
It took about half and hour to download Inskcape of 850MB application.
One has to select the desktop type it during installation.
I used the Tumbleweed Iso.
It took a little time for me to remember it's installation and partitioning strategy.
It lets me select my own partition schedule.
Strangely it selected the last 5 partitions in my partition table as it's preferred partition selection.
Of course I had to delete them as requested but I did not.
Finally I selected my own schedule.
It did not interfere with my GRUB but OpenMandriva Lx ruined GRUB, partition table and booting, too.
I reverted back to Reborn OS on top of OpenMadriva.
I got AbiWord installed to begin with having deleted LibreOffice.
Then I did a stupid thing by installing OpenSuse current desktop thinking it would be better.
Installation, package selection and everything about it was strange and was not to my liking.
However, I got AbiWord installed with some fiddling.
I decided to go back to Tumbleweed and intention was playing few games.
I am reinstalling it again and I clicked the dialog boxes this time round to find, if I can add additional desktops having selected Gnome.
I deleted LibreOffice and clicked game folder.
It gives a summary in very tiny letters and I was happy I only use 33% of the boot folder.
I had selected 58,800 of memory and 15,000 packages with an average about 3.3MB for each package.
Installation is slowly progressing.
