Fedora KDE Approved as an Official Spin
If you prefer the Plasma desktop environment and the Fedora distribution, you're in luck because there's now an official spin that is listed on the same level as the Fedora Workstation edition.
Fedora is beloved by many as a Linux distribution that not only just works but is powerful, efficient, and ready for users of all types. However, Fedora's main edition ships with the Gnome desktop, which some new users might have trouble acclimating to. Fear not, because Fedora KDE is now listed as an official spin.
What does this mean? First off, Fedora KDE will now be listed at the same level as the Workstation edition on fedoraproject.org. Next, it means there will be a new flagship site page for Fedora KDE. Finally, there also will be marketing support for Fedora KDE that is along the same lines as the Workstation edition at events.
This was opened two months ago and was finally made a reality on November 8. If you go to fedoraproject.org, you'll see KDE Desktop listed at the top of the Spins (at the bottom of the page). Head to the Fedora KDE page, and you'll be greeted by plenty of information about the spin. Even the Fedora Spins page lists Fedora KDE at the top, where you can download an ISO for Fedora 41 that ships with the Plasma desktop environment.
The downloads are available for Intel/AMD x86_64 and ARM AArch64 systems. Do note that this isn't the Fedora KDE Plasma flagship edition. The official Fedora KDE flagship edition is set to be made available along with Fedora 42.
