Like KDE? Looking for something new and innovative? Have a look at KaOS. As described on its home page, KaOS is "A lean KDE Distribution", and it gives these as the ideas and principles behind the distribution:
- Rolling distribution
- Built from scratch (not derived from some 'larger' distribution)
- KDE desktop / Qt toolkit only
- x86_64 architecture only
Interesting to have a distro that's not just a remash of some version of Ubuntu, and the narrow focus of the distro means there are fewer moving parts to worry about. I'll be giving it a look over the weekend.
Here is KaOS' page on Distrowatch. But J.A. Watson over at ZDNet
does a pretty reasonable job of reviewing it this week, too.
Interestingly enough, I'm never going to go back to using another distro, not because noop is 'better' (far from it),
but because I know exactly where everything is, and how everything works, it's really nice.
I see that they use pacman? I've been debating changing my package manager to something ... cleaner.
Although, the way it is now is extremely 'Unix-y', all data are in files, and the 'package manager' is a shell script haha.
TL;DR Great to see more KDE distros! Building a distro from source is not quick and easy.
