What are Spins?
The default desktop environment of Fedora is GNOME, but if you prefer an alternative desktop environment such as KDE Plasma Desktop or Xfce, you can download a spin for your preferred desktop environment and use that to install Fedora, pre-configured for the desktop environment of your choice.
Downloading
Spin downloads are offered via direct download, but you can also get them via Bittorrent. In this case you will need to install a Bittorrent client in order to download a spin. If you cannot use Bittorrent, some spins offer alternative download methods.
Using
Spins are provided as ISO files. You may use the ISO file to create a new virtual machine, or you can burn the ISO in a special way to a USB stick or optical media to run the spin on hardware.
Installing
To install a spin, you run the spin on your computer and click the "Install to Hard Drive" link on the desktop. You'll be guided through the install process via a series of prompts.
