How is a non-Linux user supposed to choose? We've optimised the Linux
install procedure to the point where there's very little unusual
terminology used, but "Gnome" and "KDE" really aren't something that a
user can make an informed choice about. The OpenSuse install screen
gives you no information that helps you decide which you want, and the
only thing I can think of that would actually help would be something
like:
"Gnome: Your Fedora install will look like Ubuntu, but blue. Choose this
option if you want to run the desktop that has more Fedora developers
working on it"
"KDE: Your Fedora install will look different to Ubuntu, but will
otherwise work pretty much as well except for when things aren't as well
integrated"
Which still isn't a great deal of help.
