Hi Erich,
I think this is a great idea -- thanks for getting the discussion
started!
I've always found it weird that the Jam spin is based on another
desktop, different from what Fedora Workstation uses. I think it
makes a lot of sense to switch over and try to improve the audio
issues in GNOME. We have a lot of Fedora developers who are also
GNOME upstream developers and this should create nice synergies.
As you may be aware, Wim Taymans has been working on pipewire that
Workstation ships with, with the goal of improving the audio and
video experience in Fedora Workstation and GNOME and Linux desktop in
general. The Jam spin switching to GNOME makes a lot of sense in this
context -- that way the Jam users can quickly give feedback on any
pipewire issues and feature requests, hopefully improving the overall
situation quickly.
Good idea and +1 from me.

Thanks. That's exactly what has spurred this conversation. I've been
having conversations in off-list threads about pipewire. I'm highly
interesed in doing work on this, and I think perhaps this would be the
best way to collaborate and get feedback from the overall community of
musicians and audion enthusiasts.
So, perhaps a conversation can be had to create a second kickstart for
GNOME and keep the KDE kickstart?
But, that's the goal: to get users to give feature requests and issues
to pipewire. I am not sure that can be adequately accomplished in KDE
Plasma.
