A very ignorant question - I see everyone refers to KDE Plasma. Is there in fact another non-Plasma version of KDE that one could run under Fedora?
There have been some name changes, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE#Brand_repositioning:
Thanks very much for your response. I skipped through the document above, but decided serious study was not a fruitful use of my time.
"After the repositioning, the name KDE no longer stands for K Desktop Environment, as it now acts as an umbrella brand for software produced by the community. What would have been previously known as KDE 4 will now be referred as "KDE Software Compilation 4" (abbreviated "KDE SC 4").[10] Regardless, many users still refer to it as KDE 4. With the releases of Frameworks 5 and Plasma 5, the term "Software Compilation" is again retired, in favor of the names of each specific product the KDE community produces.[11] Many users still refer to various parts of the project (particularly Plasma) as KDE 5."
I'm afraid my conclusion on reading this is that the KDE team are seriously lacking in common sense.
As far as I can see, the term Fedora/KDE is unambiguous, and the addition of the word Plasma adds nothing to it. I put it in the same pigeon-hole as saying GNU/Linux for Linux.
The Fedora KDE list would be the place to discuss this (I think you also hang out there), see https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde
I should indeed have sent my post to the redhat.fedora.kde newsgroup; but for reasons that escape me my posts to that newsgroup (through gmane) sometimes appear, and sometimes do not appear.
