   Right after Fed 'announced' that they were considering a change and   
   there was an article about it in Phoronix, a big discussion (typical   
   Gnome/KDE 'war') erupted in the phoronix forum.  In that discussion the   
   fans of openSUSE (and SUSE) KDE chimed in including the opinion that   
   suse/open was the best implementation of KDE.   
      
   So far, my fave default KDE has been Neon's.  I'm especially impressed   
   w/ how Neon keeps KDE lean; comparable to XFCE now, no comparison to   
   such as Gnome or Cinnamon which seem 'bloated' by comparison.
