The Desktop enviornment is really inherently unsuited to the long term unchanging RHEL (or LTS from others) where the changes year to year are simply too significant to allow a 4+ year old installation to remain relevant. By removing KDE from RHEL 8 this makes it easier for somone like the Fedora KDE group to provide KDE in a form that remains relevant through the lifecycle of RHEL 8. Unless a company using RHEL really, really wants that Desktop support they may well find the KDE option (perhaps on a more corporate friendly 12 month cycle instead of the Fedora 6 month, who knows) to be a better option than the Gnome installation that will at some point become hopelessly out of date. _______________________________________________ kde mailing list -- kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kde-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
