    Even though I’m a huge GNOME shill, I can’t help but admire the allure that KDE Plasma offers to those yearning for a traditional desktop experience and (above all) its wealth of customization options readily available by default; truly embodying the FOSS spirit of user choice and freedom.

    Hopefully this change will enable KDE to become the best version of itself!

      The selling point for me right now with Plasma is how well rounded it is. It’s also currently the only desktop env offering HDR support, which means it’s basically a must for me.

    Good. Redhat seemed like it was going the other direction given it’s dropping of Plasma from the RHEL packages. They certainly support Gnome with money and developers, maybe we’ll see some of that support extend to KDE going forward.

    Ah cool. This will probably be better for newcomers since they won’t have to search for a tiny little “spins” at the bottom of the page.

    Kde is probably a lot more familiar to windows users and I know I usually recommend it to people moving over even if I do prefer gnome.

      Yeah, most newcomers don’t even know about the spins and labs since they are quite hidden. So this is a great thing for getting Fedora KDE Spin on an equal footing in visibility and promotion.
