    Fedora KDE Plasma Edition Aims To Appeal To Multimedia Enthusiasts & Content Creators

    Phoronix: Fedora KDE Plasma Edition Aims To Appeal To Multimedia Enthusiats & Content Creators

    Back in November it was decided that the Fedora KDE Desktop Spin would be promoted to the same tier as the GNOME-based Fedora Workstation. Fedora KDE as an "Edition" status for Fedora 42 will now be on the same level as Fedora Workstation Edition. More details on those Fedora KDE Edition plans have now come to light...

    Even RedHat started to get suspicious about things happening with GNOME and decided to promote normal desktop environment for Fedora.

      Red Hat no longer even ships KDE in RHEL.

      Fedora has treated GNOME and KDE the same way for years already. This is just Fedora doing its own thing similar to what happened with Btrfs. Brtfs is default for Fedora Workstation while RHEL dropped support for it.

        Can confirm. I've been using KDE for many years under Fedora, no problem. The last time I tried installing KDE while using RHEL ~9.2 it broke my system with conflicting dependencies (EPEL repository).

          No. /Thread.

          Expanded: Fedora's ffmpeg build is an abomination. Never mind no support for AMR, AC3, EAC3, H.264, H.265 or H.266 decoding or encoding.

            You understand patents right?

              That's why RPMfusion exists. Enable it while installing Fedora and do

              Code:
              sudo dnf install ffmpeg
              or if you already installed the Fedora version, which is called ffmpeg-free do

              Code:
              sudo dnf swap ffmpeg-free ffmpeg --allowerasing
              You're welcome

                OpenSUSE kde is better option as Fedora's focus will be always Gnome

                    I think that if you propose to pay for patents, there would be no problem sending them to the official repositories.
                    But it is possible that some users still do not understand or do not want to understand that laws and patents are not there for fun.
                    Some distributions distribute them, but they are distributions that do not have corporate legal offices (even if in this case they are in a gray area) or companies that have their legal headquarters on some island to pay less taxes and have benefits (tax havens), exactly those that we mere mortals should not like.
                    However, both in Fedora and openSUSE it is possible to obtain them through a community repository.
