There were more features approved for inclusion into Fedora 21 and already talk of making a KDE Plasma Fedora product for the Fedora 22 release given its popularity...

For us followers and users of Fedora KDE, this is great news. It means that we may see more support for distro-specific tools and patches, designed and tailored with Fedora Plasma in mind. A vision: a desktop for power users. A soul: an user who does more with his computer than simply using productivity software and browsing the Internet.

Please, make it happen.

That isn't the vision of the Fedora Plasma product proposal

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Plasma_Product

"Fedora Plasma Product aims at scientists, students and teachers. We believe that Fedora could serve as number one scientific and educational distribution"

In essence, this will become a successor to the Fedora Scientific Spin which already uses KDE.

kde?

kde is a horrible DE but ok

Fixed. The real story is KDE failed to establish anything for F21. Gnome is promoted to Workstation Product.

Die, troll. Die!

Thanks! You might want to pass that water to KDE. They are the ones getting burnt today.

Today a Red Hat employee explained to you that educators and scientists (i.e. intelligent people) prefer KDE.

I understand that this must hurt you.

To be clear, this isn't anything I said. I am just showing what the proposal says.

Haha, be careful not to feed him too much!

Pingu just need to blow some steam. He knows very well that KDE just got further degraded in Fedora Land. So let him talk all he wants!

It was an article about the rising popularity of KDE, and about Fedora users demanding more KDE. And about Fedora continuing to use KDE as default on their Educational and Science-oriented versions. And this is on the heels of KDE being voted the best DE on several sites.

I understand that this has hit you very hard. You told us that KDE was dead two years ago, and now all this.
