From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I am trying to install kde neon in a VM to try plasma 6 and actually test and report bugs, too, and the installer launches into a completely transparent window and I can't proceed from there. Tried to install opensuse krypton, it was taking so long to install I actually gave up and quit the install.
In my experience too KDE Neon unstable is a total mess.
Maybe try the new Fedora Rawhide with KDE? There even is an immutable image now. I will try that on Baremetal in a few minutes, as in the VM scaling and all was a mess, but VMs also just dont cover regular use scenarios (dual monitors, energy saving, fingerprint sensor (I want to keep mine for the host lol), memory, actually working GPU (thanks AMD mobile bullshit CPUs)
I honestly do have an extra laptop to test on. So I might just slap fedora kde on it or something.
I just rebased from latest Kinoite to Plasma 6 and so far neat, polished, no bugs? Damn KDE Nightly was a total mess?
Great so far! Not beta anymore at all.
Sounds good. Thank you for that.
