What is with idea behind the kde tags?
I don’t understand the fedora-kde outside of that, I assume its a specific issue with some kde component. I’m not in the kde ecosystem so I don’t know what to make of kde-plasma or kde tag.
As a side note, when I read this post I assumed it was going to be about why some many issues with KDE, but I digress.

Well, kde-partitionmanager, kdenlive, and kdeconnect are all specific programs. So is kde-plasma, although since that’s the desktop environment I don’t think it’s really useful to have a distinction.
I’m going to merge fedora-kde" into just kde, because I think that’s obvious. If it isn’t about Fedora KDE, it isn’t on topic . 
Other things that seem reasonable to me but which I won’t do immediately:
- kdeconnect should probably become #kde-connect for consistency (but kdenlive stay as it is, because that’s literally what the software is called)F
- Merge kde-plasma into kde? At a quick glance, a few questions tagged this are specific to Plasma, but a lot are really about KDE in general.

I changed it to KDE-* tags the topic

@mattdm I just hope you not break the effort of someone, who used the fedora-kde tags and included it to the FAQ topic etc.
As you know … I am not so found of “fire fighter” actions. But anyway, we are not on beta or before a release now

I dont like it at all, but the “K Desktop Environment” did more broad things and a lot of apps so they decided to rename the Desktop to “KDE Plasma” (Which is a very strange name to write).
So kde could be for random KDE software, kde-plasma is for core components of the desktop.
#fedora-kde could be for “compose specific” things but I dont think it makes a lot of sense. Instead people should be directed to the Fedora KDE bugtracker.
The rest of the tags are just specific software.
I think removing kde-plasma and fedora-kde would be good. Not to be too controversial about the KDE devs decisions 
100% @mattdm’s suggestion
Another question, what about gnome and workstation?
I sometimes use the gnome tag like an “ugh… gnome issue”. Like something we cant fix?
But I think we should either use workstation or silverblue. Not sure about hacked together systems like GNOME netinstall
I think the gnome tag is useful for search results, if nothing else. I think we may have to just live with this one being a little squishy.

Having a delineation between the 2 is important. Workstation being the flagship, yet Gnome software being issues with the desktop and applications.

But as a Flagship, every issue with the software should be addressed to people promoting GNOME as the one and only best desktop, aka. “workstation”.
I see how “gnome” improves indexing. (Indexing is crazy, I have a lot of posts in DDG #5 results!)

I think I prefer just the gnome and handling it for the most part similar to kde.
There’s so much to workstation that I don’t know that the tag has much value.

I assume GNOME if you’re using Workstation; everything else is a Spin or named after its DE. It’s not Fedora GNOME 
I prefer the Workstation tag
