On an even less relevant sidenote, I notice that the SUSE tags still refer to Novell (which doesn't have anything to do with SUSE since 2+ years) and still uses the SuSE capitalization which is so outdated I have no idea when that was dropped :d They're not insignificant, but not big in the most profitable markets.

They're equally big in free home and small business users. Canonical is big in cloud, though, unfortunately for them that is 99% unpaid. Debian isn't a great option if you need certification and support, Ubuntu/Canonical just doesn't have the market mindshare (and expertise, according to most ppl you talk to in the business) to compete with RH and SUSE so they rarely get paid at that level. If you wonder where Debian, Ubuntu etc are - I'm talking about the paid market here. Either through openSUSE (13.2 was just released yesterday) or a evaluation version of SUSE Linux Enterprise.Īs background: Red Hat has about 60-80% of the 'Enterprise' market, especially the SMB market and SUSE has the remaining 20-40%, mostly focusing on the Fortune 500 and specific uses like SAP-on-Linux (>80% marketshare), Linux-on-IBM SystemZ (>90%?), financials etc. If it isn't I guess CentOS just left you out to dry.ĭon't want to ruin the fun of playing with CentOS but as a suggestion: you could consider trying out the 'Other Enterprise Linux', SUSE.

So use yum to search for apper and install it. If you'd like to install Apper, provided it is available, you'll have to resort to the command line.
#Centos remove kde software#
Surprising on one hand, but then again, I guess I've been spoiled by SUSE which has no less than TWO tools available, Apper for 'beginners' and the software mgmt tool in YaST for more advanced users. If a search on 'software' or 'installation' in the menu gives no results, I think we'll have to conclude that Red Hat/CentOS comes without any graphical software mgmt tools. How do I add/install it? Apper is a graphical UI for software mgmt which I would suppose is installed, but I can't check as I don't have CentOS here. I was unable to find Apper or Software Installation Tools on my installation of CentOS. Open the menu (click the button on the bottom-left of the screen) and use the search function to find software installation tools! Adding to what Rivitir said above, I believe you can use Apper to install and remove software.
