We've reverted the title from the submitted “Red Hat drops KDE support”. Readers can decide for themselves which aspects of the article are relevant; Python 2 has also been deprecated, for example.
- tln 8y agoPython 2 was deprecated in RHEL 7.5 at least, maybe earlier[0] The news the submitter thought was interesting is about 90% down an excruciatingly long webpage... maybe linking instead to a story specifically about this news would be better?[1][2] Here's the release note tidbit: "KDE has been deprecated KDE Plasma Workspaces (KDE), which has been provided as an alternative to the default GNOME desktop environment has been deprecated. A future major release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux will no longer support using KDE instead of the default GNOME desktop environment."
