Ok, I get what protected packages are now, but I am confused as to what  '
fedora-release-workstation ' represents.

Is it a software component ? Like if I want ssh I would do something like :

dnf install ssh

This would install the SSH package on my system.

But what does " fedora-release-workstation " represent ? Is a software
component or is it a group of components ? If it is a group why not just
make it a dnf group ?

How would I download all the KDE packages and set it up ? Would it happen
automatically ?

Interesting stuff.
