This tutorial shows how you can set up an OpenSUSE 12.2 desktop that is a full-fledged replacement for a Windows desktop, i.e. that has all the software that people need to do the things they do on their Windows desktops. The advantages are clear: you get a secure system without DRM restrictions that works even on old hardware, and the best thing is: all software comes free of charge.

I've been running openSUSE 12.2 on my desktop lately and I have been deliberately giving GNOME a chance. It is usable and it isn't as absolutely horrible as some make it out to be. It's also a pain in the a** for people who are used to having lots of things open and multitasking. Of the major DEs it's my least favorite so I'd hardly call openSUSE 12.2 with GNOME a "perfect desktop". openSUSE 12.2 with XFCE, OTOH, is pretty darned nice.
The alt-tab working across multiple virtual desktops is a great thing. Super key, then type the beginning of an app, then Return to run it -- I miss both of those features in other DEs.
I tried it. There were somethings that were very well done but in the end multi-tasking and multi-monitor support was just too difficult for me.
