Look, we knew Fedora wasn't going to drop Gnome. Gnome is almost entirely a Redhat project, it's there for the paying corporate market so it doesn't confuse the drones by offering "choices", and Fedora is the proving ground of any changes that might affect said drones. I can't even argue with the logic.

Lots of Plasma-Fedora distros out there, like the spin and Nobara/bazzite that frankly are better starting places for most power users anyway, since you don't have to get around the repo/codec issues yourself.

The project leader could just be honest about that instead of making BS up.

Not to mention Fedora KDE from the Fedora project

Yah, that's what I meant by "the spin". Can't say I've used it recently, and I imagine it has the same lack of non-free repos as the parent, so the others are less trouble and work fine. Heck, Nobara's had V6 included for a few weeks now.

When I installed F39, it at least promoted and made opting into the most reasonable nonfree repositories. So at least recently they've gotten a bit more practical on that situation.

Only the GNOME edition has the onboarding dialog where you enable "3rd party repos".

They are currently adding it to the KDE welcome dialog but that one is for sure more ignorable.
