Thanks for the insight on that! Viewing it like that, it makes sense to have such a selection of software. I also think having a welcome app would be really useful at the very least to avoid bad first impressions. I would indeed list alternative and extra applications and a short explanation on the ways to update software (I personally know that openSUSE has a tiny article explaining the community repos, a link to Plasma's help and so on), which is probably what most newcomers look for. _______________________________________________ kde mailing list -- kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kde-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
