It is weird that it doesn't start when you select it from display manager/login manager ..., maybe there is some problem with gdm (I guess you installed gnome image (aka workstation first)), KDE image uses sddm, gdm should start other desktops too but possibly something is broken, check if the sddm is installed $ rpm -qa *sddm* (possibly sddm, and some other sddm* package/s) and then disable gdm # systemctl disable gdm and enable sddm # systemctl enable sddm also you can try this from console (ctrl+alt+f[1-6] few of those should be available) also you can test this or start without rebooting # systemctl stop gdm and # systemctl start sddm Also for KDE on Fedora specific questions you can subscribe to 'kde' [1] list. This list is OK too, but it is used for general user discussion and possibly less people who use KDE are here, and can miss the question/s related to it.
