Take Fedora KDE for a Spin | Fedora Podcast Ep. 39

Neal Gompa came back on the show to convince me to switch to KDE Plasma 6.2, and he made a pretty compelling pitch. We talked about the differences between editions, spins, and labs, the KDE community, and what makes Plasma worth a look. We also got into what is coming next, including the proposal to promote Plasma to a full Fedora edition.

A few things worth carrying away from the conversation:

• Editions, spins, and labs are worth understanding. Neal helped me sort out how the Fedora KDE spin fits into the larger picture, which clears up a lot of confusion.
• Plasma 6.2 is a strong reason to reconsider KDE. Even as a longtime GNOME user, I found Neal’s case for the current Plasma release genuinely persuasive.
• The KDE community is a big part of the appeal. We spent real time on the people and momentum behind Plasma, and that matters as much to me as the features.

Give it a listen and let me know what stuck with you.
