It was higher — about 7% — for F19, but the difference doesn't seem to have come from the GNOME-based desktop, which hovers around that 70% mark. Also note that from mirror connection statistics, F20 and newer seem to be much bigger successes than anything since Fedora 14, so that 5% is a chunk of a larger pie. Of course, these numbers are based on downloads and mirror connections. They don't really tell what people are actually _using_ once they've done the downloads. > Fedora seems to me to be making it harder and harder to choose KDE > (and other alternatives to Gnome). I don't think that's true. The Fedora design and websites team recently put a lot of effort into redoing https://spins.fedoraproject.org/, which puts KDE right at the top. A specific goal was to separate out the high-quality desktop spins from the more esoteric "software bundle" spins like Robotics or Fedora Jam — great in their own right, but kind of unfair to the desktops to have them all mixed in the list.
