From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Basically everything here is for GNOME, does the KDE spin have any changes to that?

Nope, nothing for us KDE users. :'(

To be fair, fedora 38 is already on the latest version of KDE Plasma unlike with gnome. I'm sure once we get Plasma 6 we'll see the fedora spin support it not long after.

Well isn't Gnome the default and therefore, more likely to be Fedoras focus?

Yes but that is irrelevant to their question
