Hello, everyone! Are Fedora Spins safe like Fedora Workstation with GNOME?
The base os is the same for all Fedora variants, the differences are only related to the Desktop Environment (DE). So generally all are equally safe, except the DE introduces security flaws.

Desktop environment is just a set of particular packages. (just like the rest of the system)
You can have none installed (headless server), or several (and switch between them as you like).
But they are packages like all other, with the same perks and flaws.
As long as you use those which Fedora labels officially as its Spins, you should have extra assurance, that there is an active Fedora community around it and it passed some release criteria.
