I wouldn't recommend the default Fedora experience either. Most people will come from Windows or Mac so KDE, Cinnamon, XFCE and any other classic DE will be immediately familiar for them. Try to tell a newbie that comes from Windows that now you won't have a taskbar (or that it's always hidden and that you have to go to the opposite side of the screen to make it visible) and that you won't have a system tray either. That some applications (like HP printers software) will open with errors and some other won't open at all because they are using a wrong approach and a system tray is something that must be avoided. They won't care about it. They just want their software to work in a familiar environment. Using KDE will be much simpler for anyone that comes from Windows or Mac than GNOME.

Usually disabling all of the "telemetry" (read: spying and monetisation)...

Tried the new ISO on a VM over the weekend. Not much to say other than a slightly updated Calamares. I guess the biggest change is the additional software installation option on the Welcome application. Before it would give you a few options but now it launches a new window with several options. They took a cue from Garuda, but Garuda offers more options for software. Odd that they omitted AKM in this new launcher.
