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.

KDE is nice, but it's also a massive beast not very well suited to low power SBCs.

I think the Pi 4 and Pi 5 could run it pretty well. Definitely would recommend it for older Pi models though.

Plasma is one of the lowest resource utilization DEs available. Has been for years now. I get tired of hearing this from people that last used KDE at like version 4.
