Not my thing, as imho, Fedora is already not really that bloated.

However, for those who want something a bit more stripped down, you can follow this guide

thats not bloat. the more mainstream linux becomes the more silly articles they will write.

linux is completely open. you dont like apps then use linix from scratch. :)

I totally agree actually. However, some people may be interested (and may be anti-bloat freaks).

Personally, I had Cosmic, KDE and Gnome all installed yesterday (uninstalled KDE this morning though). So, I clearly aren't that fussed.. But, I have deeply nested desktop backup folders...
