If you have Fedora Workstation installed, you have the

swap it out for fedora-release-kde, which you could do with this:
sudo dnf swap fedora-release-workstation fedora-release-kde
Ok, I get what protected packages are now, but I am confused as to what '
fedora-release-workstation ' represents.
Is it a software component ? Like if I want ssh I would do something like :
dnf install ssh
This would install the SSH package on my system.
But what does " fedora-release-workstation " represent ? Is a software
component or is it a group of components ? If it is a group why not just
make it a dnf group ?
I'm not sure if Fedora has documented changing from one kind of fedora
to another.
So just for the sake of argument you are saying that if I wanted to use
the KDE
version of Fedora I can swap "fedora-release-workstation" for "
fedora-release-kde ".
How would I download all the KDE packages and set it up ? Would it happen
automatically ?
Interesting stuff.
