Hi Nadim,
I actually tried to replace this exact image in the past when it first came out, but if I remember correctly, people wanted to keep the image and I was unsuccessful. Not sure if people have changed their minds. You might want to contact the marketing team as well.
Cheers,
Chaoyi

Hi everyone,
I have been a Fedora user for almost a decade now. I am advised that this is the correct forum where I can propose contributions and changes to the GetFedora website.
The GetFedora.org pages for Server and Cloud are okay. However, the one for Fedora Workstation [1] has been bothering me for a long time now. There are some aspects of it that I've found disturbingly bad and in serious need of change. Luckily, they're easily replaceable components of the webpage.
Right now, the Workstation page has a very good introduction at the top ("This is the Linux workstation you've been waiting for") followed by a good introduction ("Fedora Workstation is a reliable [...] corporate environments.")
However, what comes after that is the problem: the Workstation has a bunch of sentences that either make very specific technical references or in general contribute little value to selling the project. These could be fixed by focusing on a more general introduction to the desktop environment, daily-use features, and cutting-edge differences that separate Fedora from other desktop operating systems.
The most critical problem I have with the website are the photos: they're incredibly bad. The photos are of, literally, decade-old ThinkPads that are completely covered in dirt and dust, running Fedora. It's like a caricature of a Linux distro website. I find that to be very off-putting and unprofessional. These photos should be replaced quickly and I can't believe they've been on the website every time I've gone to download a Fedora image over the past two years! They can at least be replaced with photos of clean ThinkPads, and better yet, laptops where what's actually on the screen is an interesting Fedora use-case that is clearly visible in the photo.
If anyone can point me to the correct repository for the website, I will make pull requests with suggestions to make the website more reasonable, and I will also contribute content and try to make the page more useful and accessible to people interested in Fedora. Right now, the website seems to be made by Fedora users and seems to target people who *already* use Fedora, which is very near-sighted and ultimately a bad strategy.
Regards,
Nadim
