or maybe, just link "looking for apps? click here" -> which
https://community.dev.fedoraproject.org/packages/ and let that deal
with with popular app/latest app listing

well, i use the addressbar to search .. and new tab is almost always
from clicking a link .. and i believe advanced users are that way too.

haha XD ..  ok "looking for help? ask here" maybe

nothing wrong with that right? :-) .. it'll help new people to get
started with Fedora.. and maybe add a link with "want to contribute?,
click here" -> point to join.fp.o
