Fedora-Council/tickets ticket #504: Request to upgrade Fedora KDE Desktop Spin to Edition status under the Personal Systems WG

• Listing Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop Edition at the same level as Fedora Workstation Edition on fedoraproject.org
• Production of a flagship site page for Fedora KDE similar to Fedora Workstation on fedoraproject.org
• Marketing support in a similar vein to Workstation at events

I would love this, so +1 for it!!!

However, i still think they should be marketed as

Gnome Workstation
&
Plasma Workstation

and users should be given the chance to choose any of these two “equally”.

(edit:
i also like the solution suggested at:

F42 Change Proposal: Fedora Plasma Workstation (System-Wide)

I agree with these. In fact, having two equal versions (or a choice in the installer like openSUSE does) is a more realistic proposal anyway. You often see people on e.g. Reddit asking questions like “what’s the best KDE distro?” and people saying Fedora will get little upvotes or even comments saying “but KDE is only a spin, it can’t be good / taken seriously”. When actually Fedora KDE (and Kinoite) is amazing!

where the Workstation installer had - in itself - the choice between the two Desktops - at installation time - would not only provide equal status but also avoid the creation of 2 different editions )
