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.

Thanks to the packaging efforts of the members of the KDE SIG (especially Alessandro Astone, Justin Zobel and Steve Cossette), we now have enough updated packages in Fedora to create Fedora Kinoite nightly images with KDE Plasma 6.

You can try it in a VM or even on your normal install, pin your current version first to have a backup

Niceeeee! I've tested a few KF6 apps in a rawhide+nightly copr distrobox on Kinoite, and they're quick

What are the big changes from KDE 5 -> 6?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Definitely the transition from QT5 to QT6. It Looks identical, but has better wayland support and performance.

There are also a few new and hot features which I can't recount at the moment (it's 4:30 in the morning), but the pointieststick blog should have the droids you're searching for
