Fedora KDE Desktop Spin Promoted To Same Tier As GNOME-Based Fedora Workstation


Earlier this year was a Fedora change proposal seeking to make KDE Plasma the default over GNOME for Fedora 42

Approval has been granted to upgrade the Fedora KDE Desktop Spin to Edition status so that now both the KDE Plasma and GNOME desktop editions are on the same playing field.
