    Making my choice even harder. May I ask the beginner question of: Is there anywhere you have a desktop and can add files on it? I tried for a bit to play with Fedora and saw it was not possible

      Honestly I promise you’re better off using a better organization system than dump it on the desktop… But I can totally solve that problem for you!

      It’s a little tough to explain, but what you’re looking for is a different Desktop Environment. Fedora Workstation uses Gnome, which doesn’t do desktop icons by default. I love it, but it’s not for everyone.

      Fortunately, this is Linux so you have a choice!

      If you want to stick with Fedora, use the KDE or Cinnamon spin. Check the Fedora Spins page:

      https://fedoraproject.org/spins/

      KDE is super customizable and modern, with lots of fun stuff you can do with the desktop, while Cinnamon is a bit less flexible but more familiar for folks coming from Windows. Either way, you can clutter up your desktop to your heart’s content 😁.

      Either way, it’s still Fedora underneath.

      If you really want to try something not Fedora, then you could go Linux Mint if you like the way Cinnamon looks; they invented that Desktop Environment, and make what might be the most beginner friendly Linux Distro:

      https://linuxmint.com/

      If you’d rather KDE and want something. other than Fedora, then I can suggest KDE Neon. It’s actually handled by the KDE project itself:

      https://neon.kde.org/

      Hope that helps, and if you have any more questions, I’ll help if I can.
