UX: Make it easier to get / download Drupal

If you visit the frontpage of Drupal.org, getting Drupal is actually quite hard. There is no single click to download, unless you understand that "Try Drupal" in the menu gives you more than clicking "Try Drupal" in the banner.

Where other comparable solutions have very visible download blocks or "Get"-buttons, we have "Try Drupal" ... I understand that we want to give high value to our biggest sponsors, but this is frustrating. And when you visit https://www.drupal.org/try-drupal there is just a text link to the downloads.

If this is a requirement from the sponsors, part of a contract, fine, just close the issue. If not, we should really make the UX better.

    @hansfn, I think this is outdated with the new design of d.o. Although the emphasis is on Drupal CMS, there are easy to find buttons for trying and downloading Drupal core.

    I still think the UX is bad.

    The "Get Started" button lets you choose between two "Try ..." options which both "hides" the normal Download option.

    The normal Download page is OK-ish, but that is another discussion / issue.
