You can make Plasma the system-wide default desktop. This is not necessary in order to use Plasma and may affect other users on the system. There are several ways to make Plasma the default desktop - GUI and command line tools and manually editing system configuration file.
This has little impact on the end-user experience and isn't necessary in order to use Plasma. Use your favourite package management tool yum, dnf, kpackagekit to install sudo yum dnf install switchdesk-gui , run the switchdesk command and select KDE.
To make KDM the default display manager, use your favourite package management tool yum, dnf, kpackagekit to install system-switch-displaymanager-gnome , run the system-switch-displaymanager command and select KDM.
Use your favourite package management tool yum, dnf, kpackagekit to install sudo yum dnf install switchdesk and run the switchdesk kde command. To make KDM the default display manager, use your favourite package management tool yum, dnf, kpackagekit to install sudo yum dnf install system-switch-displaymanager and run the system-switch-displaymanager kdm command.

The lock screen window is also redesigned with a better login interface. Smoother performance, KDE 5 Plasma applications are rendered upon the top of the OpenGL scenegraph which means that KDE 5 programs have the priority when being rendered beside other processes.
Hardware-acceleration migration is now complete, this means that Plasma 5 rendering will be faster now because of the fully-usage of the GPU. A nice set of new wallpapers will look perfect on the default theme. Many other features that you will explore on your own.

Got something to say? Your email address will not be published. Nothing to do. Using the redhat-kde repo I don't use it and I wouldn't recommend it, if kde already comes in fedora's own, just doing a kde-desktop groupinstall more than enough.
During the software package installation process, it is necessary to deactivate all the Desktop options that are activated by default of course they are from gnome and choose KDE Desktop. Personally I also go into some package groups and disable 3 or 4 gnome programs evolution, packagekit, some totem plugin, etc. And it works like a charm.
I even get bored of not having problems. That's true, although I understand that on the Fedora 18 DVD, choosing KDE automatically installs that environment without having to select and deselect applications. I didn't test it so if someone did it would be nice to know. But the KDE that you will get will be different than the one obtained with the Spin, which I recommend. I haven't tried version 18, I can't tell you how it is but I bet it's still the same.
For example, I think I remember that the office package is more complete with the dvd than with the spin that koffice brought, as well as some exclusive KDE programs that are not installed by default with the dvd.
That is why I said that if you are looking for a more complete environment, KDE should do it from the spin, and then install the program you need, since the spin is smaller in software.
The select and deselect thing is because in Scientific Linux, for example, there is no separate KDE option, all software is chosen during installation.
As it is oriented to Gnome by default, even if you choose KDE Desktop it will install you many essential applications of the gnome system. What I do is check them and deactivate them. I have done it many times and in seconds it is solved, but anyone who does not know will be reviewing them for a while but it is not very annoying to say. The only gnome application that you have to leave, because otherwise you won't have internet, is NetworkManager, there is no equivalent in KDE and if you don't install it, it's over.
For the rest, I deactivate in the Desktop section, everything that belongs to gnome, and I also activate IceWM, which I need for another old computer. I have to say that I also leave Grsync, firefox and thunderbird because it does not have exaggerated dependencies.
On the other hand, a program that I like a lot is Disk Utility but I don't install it because it requires nautilus and if I have dolphin, I will also install it.
