The docs say to use dnf group list -v --available | grep desktop to list available desktop environments, but the Gnome desktop is not listed when executing this command starting from a Fedora KDE spin

There is no "Gnome desktop" or something like that in the group list. While all other GUIs have the character string "desktop" in their name (cinnamon-desktop-environment, phosh-desktop-environment), there is nothing like this for Gnome in the group list. There is only "Fedora Workstation" and "workstation-product-environment".

There is therefore no possibility to install a dedicated Gnome desktop. The documentation is therefore correct.

I would close the issue as "Not possible" if you can't think of anything else.

but sudo dnf install @gnome-desktop does work if you try it. So I would at least mention in the docs that gnome-desktop is not listed with the grep command but can be installed after all with sudo dnf install @gnome-desktop

There are many issues reported about having GNOME on KDE desktop. It breaks screen and many other issues reported. That's why GNOME is not listed as 'available' desktop on KDE Spin. You can force it, but you will not have stable experience. Closing this issue.
