Description Aleix Pol 2025-03-02 00:27:08 UTC 
During a KDE Eco installation meetup, we detected it to be a problem for users that on the "Powerful When Needed" page the buttons, which are forming a grid, aren't obviously clickable.

It's true that they are standard buttons, but the fact that they are organised in a grid, its buttonness seems to fade visually.

Maybe this highlights an issue with the styling of our standard buttons.

Or maybe it shows that our standard buttons only feel button-like at small sizes, and larger button-like things should be cards instead? Cards have a stronger hover effect, too.

A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-welcome/-/merge_requests/199

Hopefully https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-welcome/-/merge_requests/203 is good enough.

We also added some text saying "click on these things".
