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.

Plasma 6 is currently in beta, so it really isn't meant to be used for anything other than testing. I have it installed on arch, and honestly it's good enough for my use with wayland, but you will definitely will run into issues. I also use Nvidia, though, so I'd probably have more issues than you will.

Overall, I only recommend it right now if you can roll back or if it isn't that big of a deal if your install breaks.
