While Fedora Workstation and Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop – the main desktop editions – provide the GNOME and KDE Plasma desktops respectively as the user GUI, many Fedorians prefer one of the many functional alternatives.
To provide this in the same high-quality and reliable way, community members have developed the Spins – autonomously installable desktop system alternatives with comparable functionality. The spectrum includes a range of different desktop environments and window managers.
You can download the appropriate spin and use it to install Fedora, pre-configured with the working environment of your choice, at https://fedoraproject.org/spins
Users adopt Fedora for a wide variety of purposes and in a wide variety of domains. For several of these, community members have put together _functional bundles_ that optimally support these works. This is how a distinctive collection was created – the Fedora Labs.
They range from Jam, dedicated to audio and music enthusiasts, to Security Lab, dedicated to security auditing, forensics and penetration testing, to Scientific, a collection of the most useful open source scientific and numerical tools – just to name a few of the currently available bundles.
The respective compilations are either installed as independent, complete Fedora versions or complement existing Fedora installations. They are maintained, serviced and independently documented by members of the Fedora community.

//Create a spin that provides an out-of-the-box usable robotic simulation environment featuring a linear //demo to introduce new users. Additionally we want to add as many robotics related packages to the spin //to maximize out-of-the-box usable hardware and software.
//Wary of reinstalling all the essential tools for your scientific and numerical work? The answer is //here. Fedora Scientific Spin brings together the most useful open source scientific and numerical tools //atop the goodness of the KDE desktop environment.
