It would give the KDE spin more prominence and would be a good reply to the huge work that has been put into the spin in recent times. It also wouldn't disrupt our story about Fedora Workstation. If we call it "Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop" or similarly, it won't be confused with Fedora Workstation. > (b) Alternatively, elevate the positioning of all spins on the > fedoraproject.org homepage.

For me, when using the website is the huge list semi-orthogonal categories: the top-level split is: - editions, as individual items - atomic desktops - spins - labs - alt downloads Alt downloads is split into: - Fedora 40 beta - network installer - torrent downloads - alternate architectures (even though download pages also have architectures?) - cloud base images - testing images - rawhide The Fedora Spins looks great, IMO. The Fedora Labs page looks nice too. There's also a visual split I also always struggle to find Beta releases when I need them. In some places there's a banner with a link, in other places there's a toogle. And there are at least three domains: getfedora.org, fedoraproject.org, alt.fedoraproject.org. This is hard to navigate. It seems that each subpage uses a different categorization and way to split things. And the different subpages use different visual styles. I think we should have: a) one domain b) a flat categorization where you first select the type (one of the editions or the desktops or spins or labs or network installer or cloud image). The editions should be listed prominently, and the other things can lower in the page or require a click to show. c) at all subpages there should be a toggle button to show pre-release d) once you know what to download, you can see the architecture and format options and torrent vs. iso. In such a structure the same "procedure" would be used to navigate different choices, making it easier to figure out what all the options are.
