Notes on the new KDE Linux (alpha just got released) from this article:
- immutable distro, based on mkosi
- can't extend the base image like Fedora atomic
- UEFI only, Wayland only, they only look forward
- the old KDE Neon was held down because it's Ubuntu LTS base, it's tricky to build and use on top of modern stuff
- they have good ideas, even end of life is built into the project (if they ever decide to shut it down).
Mostly it's a showcase distribution, "how KDE is meant to be used", but it's also supposed to be perfectly usable for day to day.
I'm sticking with KDE on a regular Fedora, that's bleeding edge enough, and it's flexible enough for my piddly fiddling. But I think it should be okay to install it to grandpa's computer instead of windows, for example.
@zlatko It's a good thing for the big DE's to have a "reference implementation" and base for them to develop KDE with less inconsistensies between dev machines. Gnome OS is that as well. While those distros could become popular it really doesn't have to be.
