I was wondering what happened to the proposal from a month ago…

    The Fedora leadership is elected the the community.

    “The Fedora Council is composed of a mix of representatives from different areas of the project, named roles appointed by Red Hat, and a variable number of seats connected to medium-term project goals.” –https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/council/

    Also most the community does not want to deal with KDE.

    Too bad we can’t know this for sure because the discussion and a vote was shut down. The leader was clearly afraid of the possible outcome. No need to “drop the mic” if it was actually so clear cut.

    Outside of that most people want stability and simplicity both of which KDE is not.

    Baseless claims.

    The other issue is the installer and the enterprise. If Fedora switched to KDE by default then the downstream distros would need to as well as Fedora is the testing ground for RHEL, Rocky and Alma.

    Wrong. Fedora switched to btrfs as well despite the fact that it’s unsupported by RHEL. Outside the RH sphere of influence, openSUSE manages to offer Plasma equally next to Gnome even though Gnome is default in SLE.
