[TO-DO] Rewriting existing GNOME/Workstation-specific pages for KDE, adding/updating KDE specific info in pre-existing "desktop-neutral" articles  #2

Description

@radbirb

This issue is to keep track of all pages in Fedora Docs that could be rewritten for the Fedora KDE Docs project, or could have added instructions for KDE Plasma. (or need updating)

NOTE: This is only Quickdocs specific since that section seems to be the only one that contains advice for using Fedora on the Desktop, if there's any extra docs that are not part of quickdocs that could have KDE-specific instructions, please let me know!

Workstation-specific (will most likely need a rewrite for KDE Spin):

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/configuring-xorg-as-default-gnome-session/ - Can be skipped over due to X11 not being an officially supported session or just a generally problematic package within Fedora KDE

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/getting-started-guide/ - This one isn't too major, but could be rewritten to use apps shipped by default on Fedora KDE (ie, Konsole, Elisa, Neochat) though honestly with how dense software within the pre-shipped PIM suite is to new users I'm not sure if it's a good idea to show off in the email/contacts section if we were to base the article on the Workstation one 1 to 1. ( though this is an off topic issue that's not really for the Fedora KDE Docs project to address ,:v )

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/displaying_user_prompt_on_gnome_login_screen/ - this is probably gonna need someone who knows their SDDM.... (not me!)

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/managing-keyboard-shortcuts-for-running-app-in-gnome/

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/gnome-setting-key-shortcut/

Existing pages that could get added context for KDE Plasma:

Simple pages / edits that kinda just need to mention how to install said thing using Discover -
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/installing-chromium-or-google-chrome-browsers/
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/installing-spotify/
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/installing-skype/
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/zoom/
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/installing-and-running-vlc/
**Note, some of these are really weird with NOT enabling Flathub or just installation in general, I think this might be something I need to talk to the Docs team about since it kinda makes installing some of these overly awkward.

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/securing-the-system-by-keeping-it-up-to-date/ - Add procedure and screenshots for doing this with Discover

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-new-release/ - add screenshots for Discover (this could possibly be too Workstation-specific despite having a desktop-neutral title, thus requiring a new unique page)

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/disabling-automatic-screenlock/ - this page in general is outdated even for GNOME, I might rewrite it when I find the time.

Existing pages that already have KDE Plasma context <3 (maybe we can somehow link directly to these from our own little section? I also might be missing some here):

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/finding-and-installing-linux-applications/
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/screenrecorder-apps-comparison/
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/create-gpg-keys/#backup-gpg-keys-kde - might need to be updated, not sure because I don't use kgpg.

Needs to be updated:

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/enable-touchpad-click/ - needs to be updated for Plasma 6, these seem really ancient. Maybe we can also just point to KDE Userbase/Documentation like the GNOME section does? (if such a page exists.)

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/troubleshooting-wayland-problems/ - horrendously outdated.

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/fonts - old instructions that can't be followed now

Miscellaneous:

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/gnome-shell-extensions/ - not that we can actually do anything about this but I think a general "Customising KDE Plasma" page that references using KGetNew alongside warning the user of using specific third party customisations could be really neat.

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/changing-hostname/- we can't really do anything about this one, it's odd that Plasma doesn't let you change your hostname from within System Settings.
