Bug ID: 398956
Summary: Download page for KDE Neon is unclear and confusing
Product: www.kde.org
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

SUMMARY
Download page for KDE Neon is unclear and confusing for potential users.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to https://files.kde.org/neon/images/neon-useredition/current/
2. See the list is just filenames with no explination or download button:
Parent Directory -
.message
neon-useredition-20180920-1026-amd64.iso
neon-useredition-20180920-1026-amd64.iso.sig
neon-useredition-20180920-1026-amd64.manifest
neon-useredition-20180920-1026-amd64.sha256sum
neon-useredition-current.iso
neon-useredition-current.iso.sig
neon-useredition-current.iso.zsync
neon-useredition-current.iso.zsync.README
EXPECTED RESULT
A download button for each relevant choice, with text describing what it is.
E.G. "KDE Neon User edition for 64bit computers (recommended). DOWNLOAD".
A filename alone is not clear. And not needed.
Other distros help the user choice with an explanation of each item and have a
clear Download button.
Ubuntu: https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
Linux Mint: https://linuxmint.com/download.php
Fedora: https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/download/
OpenSUSE: https://software.opensuse.org/distributions/tumbleweed
Solus: https://getsol.us/download/
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
New people coming to KDE to Download KDE Neon are taken to a nice descriptive
page by some easy navigation. https://neon.kde.org/download
But as soon as you click on the button to download the "User Edition
Live/Install" it takes you to a strange web page with a list of filenames. And
a poor and incomplete description at the top.
https://files.kde.org/neon/images/neon- ... n/current/
Now I'm sure that experienced users will be able to guess which .iso to click
on. Although the difference between:
- neon-useredition-current.iso
- neon-useredition-20180104-1018-amd64.iso
is unclear. Actually only the description need be shown. the filename itself is
cryptic.
I guess this page is automatically generated. But its's not the sort of muddle
new people should be expected to guess their way through.
