After the tutorial on how to install Fedora 39 KDE Plasma Desktop this tutorial is mainly to see what to expect from a freshly installed Fedora 39 KDE Plasma Desktop – the look and feel of the new KDE GUI (version 5.27.4 of KDE Plasma). The Fedora 39 KDE Plasma Desktop is part of Fedora spins – https://spins.fedoraproject.org/kde/
Here the user can find how to Install Fedora 39 KDE Plasma Desktop (KDE GUI). Here it worth mentioning the included versions of KDE software for Fedora 39:
- KDE Plasma version: 5.27.8, upgradable to 5.27.10
- KDE Frameworks version: 5.110.0, upgradable to 5.113.0
- QT version: 5.15.10, upgradable to 5.15.12
The idea of this article is just to see what to expect from Fedora 39 KDE Plasma – the look and feel of the GUI, the default installed programs and their look and how to do some basic steps with them, it is included also screenshots of the KDE settings program. Here you’ll find more than 250 screenshots and not so many texts we do not want to turn this review of many texts and version information and 3 meaningless screenshots, which you could not see anything for the user interface because these days it is the primary goal of a Desktop system. You can expect more of this kind of review in the future. The big missing is the Kate Advanced Text Editor, which is not installed by default in this release.
