That's yet another bad tradeoff in the name of usability.

It's hard to find even for clueful users! Definitely. You know who I think really gets it right? http://software.opensuse.org/ It completely and absolutely leaves Fedora download page for dead. As for DE's -- I think we can all agree XFCE/GNOME/KDE are all pretty solid. So the major selling point of each, is simply what they look like. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_11_Screenshot_Tour So why not have something like Fedora_11_(KDE|GNOME|XFCE)_Screenshot_Tour and links to them? And a one line selling each: "GNOME aims for simplicity and elegance" "KDE aims for control and configurability" "XFCE aims to be fast and light". (And default to GNOME to represent Fedora's position) -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
